Challenges and Strategies in Integrating Game Design in Education: A Systematic Literature Review

This research full paper describes how technological advancements have made digital games an everyday element, especially among young people, contributing to pedagogical innovations and improvements in learning. However, there are challenges such as the complexity of making these artifacts, correcting game design documents and motivating students. This study aims to investigate these difficulties in order to better understand the gaps in the integration of Game Design in education. By exploring these obstacles, it seeks to identify opportunities to improve pedagogical practices, increasing student motivation and engagement, with the aim of promoting more meaningful learning. The literature review indicates that, even in the face of challenges in applying Game Design in education, there are productive strategies for overcoming them. These not only increase student motivation and engagement, but also foster deep and meaningful learning. Therefore, the findings establish a robust basis for directing future strategies for incorporating Game Design into the educational context.
