Trauma Informed Game Based Learning for Kids
Traumatic life events experienced in early childhood can result in a wide array of adverse outcomes that may extend well into adulthood. Game-Based learning can help to ameliorate trauma by instilling competence, confidence, and connectivity in end users. Integration of Technology in Trauma Informed Game Based Learning
Understanding game based learning and its effectiveness in building resilience beyond anecdotal evidence is a practical issue, a research issue, as well as, increasingly, a scholarly pursuit. Regardless of the increasing amount of hype and scholarly articles, there still is a gap of coherent understanding whether game-based learning works, and if it does, under which circumstances. To address this gap, we reviewed empirical studies on game-based learning, it uses and the outcomes. We focused on how game-based learning is being used in education, the work place and how game based learning is being used in disaster literacy and trauma informed solutions. We looked at what were independent variables as well dependent variables (psychological and behavioral outcomes), how game-based learning was used, as well as the methods and results of these studies.
