The development approach of a pedagogically-driven serious game to support Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) within a classroom setting
<29> The research described in this paper has particular significance to game and learning designers who wish to develop game environments to support change in attitude towards sensitive issues such as sexual coercion. The combined use of Intervention Mapping for health and the Four Dimensional Framework for game-based learning provides an integrated framework for implementing effective intervention. The game has attracted attention from the local education authority and is currently being rolled out to schools in Coventry and Warwickshire. The research has recently won the Outstanding Contribution to Health Psychology award at the Annual Division of Health Psychology Conference 2013.
