The Impacts of iCivics’ Digital Games: Exploring Middle School Students’ Engagement in Social Studies Learning
Abstract
This qualitative action research investigates the impacts of integrating iCivics’ digital game Do I Have a Right? on student engagement in a seventh-grade civics elective course. Informed by the New York State Civic Readiness Initiative and the need to improve student engagement in teaching, this study explores the multidimensional nature of student engagement within the context of educational digital games. Utilizing classroom observations, a survey, and interviews, this study aims to understand how this digital game impacts student engagement. By examining these impacts, this research contributes to pedagogy in civic education and the potential of digital games to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.Citation
