Videojuegos en el Aula: Guía para un Aprendizaje Adecuado

The guide argues that video games, when deliberately selected and scaffolded, can become powerful learning tools across primary, secondary and vocational settings.

• Video games are effective pedagogical tools that improve cognitive functions like memory and problem-solving, with studies such as Parker & Thomsen (2019) linking game mechanics to measurable gains in literacy and clinical ADHD assessment.
• The global games market now encompasses over three billion active players, including 70% of Europeans aged 6–24, providing a massive, accessible platform for cooperative and project-based learning.
• Educational integration is most successful when educators use a continuum from free play to structured activities, utilizing titles like Minecraft and Assassin’s Creed Discovery Tour to support interdisciplinary curricula.
