Game-based learning and gamification in initial teacher training in the social sciences: an experiment with MinecraftEdu

This study analyzes the application of game-based learning and gamification using MinecraftEdu, which allows for an exploration of the possibilities regarding immersive learning environments. We analyze the contributions of second-year university students who are pursuing a degree in Primary Educati...
