Teaching with Games: Formative Gaming in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics
Playing to Grow examines whether video games can serve as meaningful instruments of character education, social and emotional learning (SEL), and moral instruction.
- A 2023 roundtable of game scholars and educators argues that player-choice games may offer richer pathways to character development than extrinsically rewarded systems such as PBIS and MTSS, positioning games as conversation openers rather than standalone solutions.
