Championship Manager – evaluation report
This evaluation report details how the football management game,
Championship Manager 2000/1, was used to support an ICT Key Stage 3
(11-14 yrs) programme of study, ‘Finding Things Out’. The game was
used to support pupils’ development of database enquiry skills. The
teacher designed specific scenarios where, for example, pupils
played out the role of football club scouts tasked with finding
suitable players according to criteria from the game’s database.
Overview of the use of The Sims
In this evaluation, The Sims was used with Key Stage 3 and 4 (11-16
yrs old) pupils (mainly boys) in a special school for children with
emotional and behavioural difficulties. The game was primarily
intended to support elements of the ICT curriculum; however, it also
provided a platform for collaborative work and positive discussions
about relationships.
