Does anybody know of research, which documents how working with games in schools is able to develop students' writing? Focus could be primary, secondary or upper secondary education. I am both looking for qualitative and quantitative studies!
It´s not exactly my field of expertise, as I am more into game-based learning in medical education, however "A Pedagogy of Play: Integrating Computer Games into the Writing Classroom" by Colby and Colby might be of interest to you (Rebekah Shultz Colby, Richard Colby, A Pedagogy of Play: Integrating Computer Games into the Writing Classroom, Computers and Composition, Volume 25, Issue 3, 2008, Pages 300-312, ISSN 8755-4615, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compcom.2008.04.005.).
Maybe this will help:
Pereira, J. (2018). Video game meets literature: Language learning with interactive fiction. e-Teals: an e-journal of Teacher Education and Applied Language Studies, (4), 1-18.
This is an innovative way of engagement in students towards a confluent learning through games.
....May be you can try this one............This is one of my gaming approaches......
- A bag full of Alphabets (Cards) is given to students, each one can pick a hand full of alphabets.
- Then individually they scramble them to form some words with their collections.
- The one who has used all alphabets is made to go to another person, who is struggling.
- Then the two join together to complete with both the sets of alphabets.
- Now the words are made into a sentence.
- Iterative sessions leads to synergy among individuals and brings more people together to phrase and rephrase sentences.
- ....recognize and reward .......learning to write happens automatically
