Gamification in science education: a promising field for Action Research?

By Nadja Belova

Abstract

“In this editorial I outline the basic connections between playing and learning and define what a “game” actually is and how educational processes can be “gamified”. I then try to find key arguments on why games are valuable for educational purposes. Because I believe that Action Research can con-tribute to a better implementation of games in the classroom, my editorial ends with a call for papers on this issue.”
