These questions were addressed in the lunch lecture given by Robbin te Velde on December 15th in the auditorium of the Ministry of Security and Justice. The lunch lecture was organized in collaboration with the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) and DJI. During this lecture, the final results of our research were presented.
The lecture began with an introduction to serious games at DJI by Mark van Koppen. Then, it was Robbin's turn. After a brief demonstration of a few games, he discussed the possibilities and limitations of serious games and gamification. Four cases were elaborated in our research: (1) gamification principles applied to Daily Programs, Customized Security and Supervision, (2) gaming applied in the treatment of offenders, (3) training Motivational Interviewing through gaming, and (4) support for inmates' own reintegration activities. During a short interlude, Major Marco Hulleman shared insights on the use of simulations within Defence.
Robbin concluded with an interactive quiz where attendees could experience the effect of gaming/gamification. The quiz was about unfairness and included various 'unfair' questions where only one answer was correct, such as "how many women are sitting around you?" The quiz demonstrated that truly experiencing unfairness has a much greater impact than reading about it in the newspaper, for example.
