Intervention: Game-based learning integrated into early childhood education
Who it was tested with: Children in early childhood education settings.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"This systematic review and meta-analysis examine the effectiveness of game-based learning in early childhood education. The results show that game-based learning has a moderate to large effect on cognitive, social, emotional, motivation, and engagement outcomes." This represents a rigorous synthesis of multiple studies using meta-analytical methods to estimate pooled effects, meeting the definition of an EXPERIMENTAL evidence tier.
The document does not report the number of included studies, total participants, heterogeneity measures, confidence intervals, or subgroup analyses. It is unclear whether the review assessed risk of bias in included studies or examined publication bias.
