Game learning - Action methods and new technologies

Abstract

The possibilities that the new technologies, particularly the roleplaying video games, contribute to the development of the action techniques and the psychodrama are raised. As an example of these methodologies, the experience of the authors in the use of a video role-playing game, the Pace of the Waves, in the area of communication and leadership is presented to the training of public administration professionals. The advantages and limitations of this tool are discussed, as well as its applications to professional and personal development. Finally, we reflect on the encounter between the traditional and the new in action techniques and psychodrama.
