The book presents a critical evaluation of current approaches
related to the use of digital games in education. The author
identifies two competing paradigms: that of games-to-teach and
games-to-learn. Arguing in favor of the latter, the author advances
the case for approaching game-based learning through the
theoretical lens of performance, rooted in play and dialog, to
unlock the power of digital games for 21st century learning.
Drawing upon the author's research, three concrete exemplars of
game-based learning curricula are described and discussed. The
challenge of advancing game-based learning in education is
addressed in the context of school reform. Finally, future
prospects of and educational opportunities for game-based learning
are articulated. Readers of the book will find the explication of
performance theory applied to game-based learning especially
interesting. This work constitutes the author's original
theorization. Readers will derive four main benefits: (1) an
explication of the difference between game-based-teaching and
game-based learning, and why this difference is of critical
importance, (2) an exposition of the theory of game-based learning
as performance, (3) concrete exemplars and research outcomes
relating to three game-based learning curricula that have been
empirically evaluated in schools, and (4) an understanding of
complex issues related to the human side of school change that must
be effectively addressed to achieve take-up of game-based learning
in schools.
