Game-based School (GBS)

This collaboration explores the use of game-based learning (GBL) to enhance student engagement and skills. It aims to identify effective GBL models, investigate student preferences, and transform schools into game-based environments. Game-based learning has gained attention as an innovative educational approach that can engage and motivate children and enhance their learning experiences. In this context, there is a need to research and explore students’ choices in GBL and use that data to transform the school ecosystem into a ‘Game-based School’ This participatory action research aims to identify exemplary game-based learning models and investigate students’ diverse needs and interests in utilizing game-based learning in schools’ curricula, pedagogy and developing skills, values, and attitudes. We welcome anyone who would like to contribute their skills and knowledge in: pedagogy and practice; data collection and research; data analysis; grant-writing and fundraising; conducting case-studies, or in our exploration on if and how GBL should be used more widely in schools.
