Short Description

We will discuss observations and outcomes from teacher professional development on gamification and gameful learning practices from a self-determination theoretical perspective. A group of Maryland middle school teachers is participating in yearlong professional development on gameful learning. The teachers are also using Classcraft, an online gamification tool, to gamify their instruction. This work is part of a forthcoming study on the effects of gameful learning teaching practices on student motivation and engagement.
