The Research

Game-based learning refers to the borrowing of certain gaming principles and applying them to the classroom setting to engage students. The motivational psychology involved in game-based learning allows students to engage with educational materials in a playful and dynamic way. Conversely, traditional learning refers to the customary style of a classroom setting where the teacher moderates and regulates the flow of information and knowledge. The linked studies below support the use of games as tools to positively impact student learning:
