**4. Methodology**

This is a qualitative study, and it follows an ethnographic research approach as a methodology. According to Creswell & Poth, ethnographic research is "a qualitative design in which the researcher describes and interprets the shared and learned patterns of values, behaviors, beliefs, and language of a culture-sharing group" ([27], p. 90). In this study, the researchers engaged in extracting the shared values, experiences, and engagement with the Gebeta game in the Ethiopian context. Using cultural commognition and the theory of funds of knowledge as a lens, the researchers studied the affordances of the game through fieldwork, primary interviews, observations, questionnaires, documents, and video recordings to find answers to the research questions posed.
