Abstract
Many curriculum guides are created to support teachers' adoption of digital games for learning. However, their impact on teachers' acceptance of games has not been studied. We investigate how the experience of theory-based curriculum guides for the educational game Discovery Tour Ancient Egypt affects teachers' confidence and acceptance of game-based learning. Teachers (n = 100) reported positive experiences with the guide. Analysis revealed that the guide's pragmatic qualities predict teachers' acceptance of DTAE. This effect is mediated by their digital self-efficacy. Results suggest well-designed curriculum guides can increase teachers' acceptance of GBL, regardless of their prior knowledge of games.
