Ce chapitre se propose donc de traiter de la mise en place d’une recherche sur le jeu en classe de langue à travers l’exemple d’un projet de recherche orientée par la conception (RoC), en anglais design-based research (DBR). À travers cet exemple, ce chapitre traite des questions méthodologiques d’une recherche longitudinale en classe de langue....

What's in a name? Analysing different perspectives on escape rooms as learning spaces.

The idea of escape room is becoming widely used as didactic tools that can facilitate cooperation, communication, critical and active learning. The focus in this study is how one digital escape room can promote collaborative problem solving (ColPS).

In this study we are aiming at addressing this theoretical gap by looking at the experience of students within a digital ERfL and investigating the theme of student engagement.

Developing new gamified educational resources or educational games takes time, and it is natural to want to ensure the success of their integration in the classroom. For this reason, it is important to look at the role of the teacher before and during the implementation. However, research on gamification and game-based learning has been focused on...
