“…Team sizes ranged between three to six players, which allowed for the achievement of greater participation and immersion. Small numbers of group size are detected, due to the educational nature of such games and because large group sizes are more difficult to manage [106]. In this context, it would be preferable for designers to design puzzles addressed to less than six players to avoid being disorganized and fail in unlocking the door and escaping.…”

Digital Escape Rooms as Innovative Pedagogical Tools in Education: A Systematic Literature Review

2021

This paper aims to present a systematic literature review on state-of-the-art Educational Escape Rooms (EERs) with the use of digital technologies. More specifically, the focus of the study is to present the current developments and trends concerning Digital Educational Escape Rooms (DEERs) and investigate how they foster learning outcomes for online learners. Additionally, the present study provides insights into the design process of such technology enhanced EERs. This review is attributed to identifying and covering research gaps since the current literature has focused on the pedagogical aspects of Escape Rooms (ERs) in education, but no studies seem to have been conducted in regard to the pedagogical implications of Digital Escape Rooms (DERs) in educational environments. Based on the exhaustive literature review, an agenda for future research is promised and the implications for designing innovative ER approaches have been highlighted. The anatomy of the fundamental components of conducting systematic literature reviews was followed. The results of the review could be addressed to multidisciplinary teams related to education, game researchers, educational researchers, faculty members, scholars, instructors, and protagonists of educational systems to encourage them to thoroughly study the core elements of DEERs and how they can be applied in virtual educational contexts to facilitate students’ learning achievements.

“…Learning interventions and educational programs of high quality lead to DML. Future research lines could investigate the intersection of DML and behavioral change in blended and distance education with emerging technologies such as extended, cross, augmented, mixed, virtual reality as well as digital games [77], big data and learning analytics [78]. In a macroscopic view, DML is not an end, it is the beginning of passionate engagements of students with domains of knowledge fueled by inspiration through inquiry and experimentation leading to creativity, polymorphic innovation and solutions to pressing problems.…”

Deep meaningful learning is the higher-order thinking and development through manifold active intellectual engagement aiming at meaning construction through pattern recognition and concept association. It includes inquiry, critical thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving, and metacognitive skills. It is a theory with a long academic record that can accommodate the demand for excellence in teaching and learning at all levels of education. Its achievement is verified through knowledge application in authentic contexts.

“…Source: Moodley, 2018 One game that teachers are exploring incorporating in the classroom is the escape room. The escape room game is based on game-based learning and includes elements of gamification (Duggins, 2019;Grande-de-Prado et al, 2021;Guckian et al, 2020;López-Belmonte et al, 2020). The educational escape games combine the teaching of both hard and soft skills (Sowell, 2020).…”

“…There are many pedagogical reasons why educational escape games are an attractive approach to learning. In addition to curriculum delivery, they are also suitable for developing many transversal or soft skills (Grande- de-Prado et al, 2021;Guckian et al, 2020;Sowell, 2020;Taraldsen et al, 2020;Veldkamp & Knippels, 2021;Wiemker et al, 2015):…”

“…The mechanics of the escaping rooms are based on puzzles, tasks, quizzes, which can be used to integrate the content elements into the game. Furthermore, each step of the room can be designed to encourage or test specific knowledge or skills, thus creating an effective learning environment for the subjects' content (Grande- de-Prado et al, 2021).…”

Over the past 20 years, work, play, and learning have changed dramatically through technology. Today, we need different skills than in the 20th century, and educational institutions have a key role to play in developing skills. Unfortunately, schools are unable to keep pace with the development of skills that are essential elements of student success. Educators around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of soft skills and play a huge role in ensuring that students are properly prepared for the world of university and work. In contrast, traditional education does not always provide the right tools to improve student success in this area. Following the recent shift from traditional didactic classroom models to the adoption of active learning approaches, escape rooms are increasingly being used in academia as a method for experiential, peer-group, game-based learning. Educational escape rooms are emerging as a new type of learning activity under the promise of enhancing students’ learning through highly engaging experiences. The paper aims to present opportunities to develop soft skills in the school setting using educational escape rooms. The study also reports on testing the self-developed escape room environment for educational purposes.
