Research Status of Building Block Games Abroad

Building block games are commonly used toys and educational tools for children, which can help children develop creativity, imagination and hand-eye coordination. In foreign countries, the research on building block games is deeper. The following are some research status of building block games abroad:

1. Pay attention to children's cognition and learning: Some studies have explored the process of children's cognition and learning through building block games. For example, by observing children's building block behavior, researchers found that they are more inclined to start with small parts and gradually assemble them into a whole. This method can help them improve their problem-solving ability and way of thinking.

2. Explore the application of building block games in STEM education: STEM education is a new educational model integrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Studies have shown that building block games can effectively promote students' understanding and application of science, physics, geometry and other knowledge in STEM education.

3. Establish robot programming and design skills: In recent years, some new building block game products (such as Lego Mindstorms and Sphero) have integrated robot programming and design skills into the game. Research shows that this kind of game can help children learn computer programming, logical thinking and teamwork skills.

4. Pay attention to game design and player experience: With the development of the game industry, more and more researches focus on the design of building block games and player experience. Some studies consider how to improve players' participation and satisfaction through innovative game design and interaction.
