A review of research on learning through video games

This paper examines 50 publications between 2003 and 2018 related to video games and learning outcomes. Our analysis considers two main trends: the potentialities of computer games and, on the other side, theoretical approaches to support the use of digital games as learning tools. In spite of the w...

Our analysis considers two main trends: the potentialities of computer games and, on the other side, theoretical approaches to support the use of digital games as learning tools. In spite of the wide acceptance of video games among scientists and educators, the results of this research exposes the variety of outcomes and also some setbacks around the impact of digital games on learning. The diversity of outcomes is understood since the large number of existing theoretical frameworks and perspectives to analyze that impact.

En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica sobre 50 investigaciones entre 2003 y 2018 acerca de los efectos de los videojuegos en el aprendizaje. Nuestro análisis considera dos hilos conduc-tores: por un lado, las potencialidades que los videojuegos ofrecen y, por otro, las dimensiones de análisis a considerar en el abordaje de los videojuegos como recurso educativo. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la diversidad y ambigüedad de resultados en torno al impacto de los videojuegos en el aprendizaje, pese a su amplia aceptación por parte de científicos y educadores. Esta diversidad de resultados se entiende desde la multiplicidad de enfoques teóricos existentes para analizar dicho impacto. Se concluye que el abordaje teórico de la cuestión deberá contemplar simultáneamente múltiples enfoques, siendo centrales la perspectiva cognitiva y la sociocultural.
