description Tässä Pro gradu -tutkielmassa kartoitan pelitutkimuksen kenttää ehdottamalla mallia, jonka avulla on mahdollista kategorisoida pelitutkimuksia. Kategorisoinnin avulla voidaan saada lisää tietoa siitä, mitä pelitutkimuksen alueella tutkitaan. Mäyrän (2008) ja Juulin (2011) pelitutkimuksen kuvailujen perusteella olen rakentanut mallin, jota kutsun 3+1-malliksi. Ehdottomani 3+1-mallin kategorioiden mukaisesti kaikki pelitutkimukseksi luokiteltavat tutkimukset voi kategorisoida johonkin seuraavista luokista: peli, pelaaja tai konteksti, tai näiden yhdistelmiin: peli ja pelaaja, peli ja konteksti, pelaaja ja konteksti, tai kaikista kolmesta koostuvaan pelaaminen-luokkaan. Tämä Pro gradu -tutkielma tutkii 3+1-mallin käyttöä kategorisoimisessa analysoimalla 24 artikkelia, jotka on kerätty seuraavista neljästä pelitutkimuksen lehdestä: Eludamos, Game Studies, Games and Culture and ToDIGRA. Kerätyt artikkelit kategorisoidaan yllä mainittuihin luokkiin ja niiden teemat tunnistetaan eri luokissa esiintyvien teemojen analysointia varten. Tutkimuksessa huomataan, että 3+1-malli kaipaa pientä muokkausta, jota ehdotetaan tuloksissa. Siitä huolimatta mallin analysoinnista saadut alustavat tulokset viittaavat siihen, että mallia voi käyttää pelitutkimusten analysointiin ja pelitutkimuksen kentän hahmottamiseen, mutta sekä määrällistä että laadullista tutkimusta tulisi tehdä tarkemman varmuuden saamiseksi asiasta. In this Master’s thesis I discuss the existing research in the field of game studies by proposing a model that can be used in categorizing the existing studies. By categorizing the studies, the question of “What is game studies about?” can be discussed further. I have constructed a model called the 3+1 model, that builds on the divisions Mäyrä (2008) and Juul (2011) use in describing the game studies. According to the 3+1 model, all the studies that are game studies study either game, player, or context, or the intersections of each category that are game & player, game & context, and player & context, or the nexus of all the three, play(ing). This study tests the 3+1 model by analyzing a set of 24 articles from the following four journals: Eludamos, Game Studies, Games and Culture and ToDIGRA. The articles are categorized according the mentioned categories, and thematized in order to discuss the themes in each category. In result, the 3+1 model needs some further refining which is proposed in the results. However, the preliminary results indicate that the model could be a valid tool in perceiving the field of game studies, but both the qualitative and the quantitative analysis are needed to further evaluate this.
