These chapter (2014), article (2015) and presentation (2016) explore the literature on the educational potential of live-action role-playing games (edu-larp). The chapter (2014) is an outstanding synthesis of more than 80 resources arguing about how the mechanics of simulation/ game/ drama/ role-play are bringing cognitive/ affective/ behavioral benefits to education/ theatre/ psychodrama/ military/ health care.
Edu-larp is not a “cure-all” for the problems of the educational system but it can bring some interesting outcomes. There is a lot of studies featuring anecdotal stories or purely theoretical principles. However, even if more research are needed, a study (2015) made by the author shows that edu-larp is good for :
- perceived competence/self-efficacy,
- intrinsic motivation, behavioral, emotional and cognitive engagement,
- leadership and teamwork
- interest/enjoyment of science
