Abstract: As computer-based games gain inclusion within the younger population sector, the proper strategies for implementation on educational settings have been less discussed. According to Russell et al. (2003), technology used by teachers is strongly influenced by their own attitudes towards that technology. A research and development team is currently in the final stage of game development, which mainly targets the implementation of three early algebra computer-based games and accompany teaching materials. In this study, current in-service teachers’ attitudes and behaviors about the implementation of game-based learning tools are being observed and documented as they can influence the successful inclusion of ...
