- Abstract:
- This paper offers an articulation of a teaching methodology that I call Gamemaking in Education (GME). This educational approach emphasizes student gamemaking rather than gameplay. In this paper, I discuss what GME is, review some cases in which other educators have used what might be called GME in college classrooms, and situate GME as an application of other proven educational methods including the maker movement in education, project-based learning, and experiential learning. I also offer strategizes for those who wish to implement GME in their classrooms, along with some recommendations for those who wish to engage in future study of GME.
