Handbook of Research on the Influence and Effectiveness of Gamification in Education

This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, building on the available literature in the field of gamification in global education systems. As gaming is increasingly present in our society and everyday lives as a form of leisure, it has also been increasingly used in academic settings as strategy to encourage learning.

This handbook reflects on the influences that gamification has had on education as well as the effectiveness of gamification as a teaching strategy. Covering topics such as serious games, game-based learning, simulation games, math games, and more, this book is an excellent reference for policy makers, academicians, preservice teachers, administration in education, and educators in both K-12 and higher education.
