Video games are a popular hobby in todays’ society in which more and more people participate. That is why it is useful to talk about their potential, especially when it comes to education. In this paper, video games are therefore first defined and then briefly explained. The theory of education according to the authors Johann Friedrich Herbart and John Dewey, which will be mentioned throughout the paper, is also explained. In their theories, the authors state the importance of experience during the education process. Video games are therefore presented in the paper as a useful tool that can be a source of that experience. The paper divides video games into singleplayer and multiplayer video game and explains how each can have a different positive effect on the player’s experience and thus education. The paper further deals with several parts of education such as social interactions, morality, learning facts and learning about cultures. All parts are connected and affect each other. During social interactions, people can develop morality, but they can also learn facts and thus have an opportunity to learn about different cultures, but in the world of video games. Those worlds contain experiences that cannot be found in the real world and imply a low level of danger for players. The work also aims to warn of possible dangers that may arise while playing video games. One of these dangers occurs in the experience of women while playing video games. The paper explains the image of women and how it can negatively affect how genders see a women and how it can negatively affect her experience while playing a video game. All mentioned ideas are supported through examples from practice.
