Increased Motivation

Gaming can increase motivation and engagement in the learning process. According to a study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, students who played an educational game showed higher levels of motivation and interest in learning than those who received traditional instruction.

Enhances Learning Outcomes

A study conducted by the University of California, Irvine, found that playing video games that require problem-solving skills and critical thinking can enhance cognitive abilities and improve learning outcomes.

Improves Retention

The immersive and interactive nature of gaming can also improve knowledge retention. A study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that students who played a physics-based game had better retention of the material than those who only read about the topic.

Develops Skills

Gaming can also develop skills that are essential in the workplace. A study by IBM found that employees who played video games had better skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and communication.

Increase Creativity

Gaming can stimulate creativity and foster innovation. A study by Michigan State University found that playing video games was associated with increased creativity and the ability to generate new ideas.

Play Phenomenon

The fact of the matter is that we are always learning, sometimes by choice and sometimes by force. Learning has been , is , and will be a vital part of life and the human experience, so it stands to reason that plenty of research has been made on the subject. It is up to us to heed and follow that research. The research says that the human brain is always trying to learn, it is always trying to conect synapses, however those connections are not always preserved. This synapse preservation is called synapse elasticity and research has shown time and time again that synapse connection creation, solidification, and retention all occurs best when the brain is experiencing “play”. Imagine that, the form of learning from which all humans began their journey, through play, is also still the most effective method of learning throughout life. Many times as adults we concern ourselves with the serious, the corporate, the fiscal, and often times we forget to play, or worse we our discouraged or even prevented from play. Following the research means following the play, anywhere and everywhere.
