In this episode of The Research Files, we’re looking at a project that was conducted in New Zealand, and it’s all about game-based learning practices. Our guest is Rachel Bolstad. She’s a Senior Researcher at the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) and began this research with the aim to investigate how games of all kinds might deepen and enrich student engagement with learning across the curriculum. Students as young as Grade 3 and as old as Year 13 were involved, along with their teachers, and the results really do point to the potential game-based learning could have.
