The latest issue of Set: Research Information for Teachers is a special one dedicated to learning through play and games. The issue comes at a time when interest in play-based learning and game-based learning is growing in many New Zealand schools.
It responds to the level of teacher enthusiasm and exploration that is increasingly visible in educational discussions and media commentaries. This special issue aims to contribute a research-informed perspective on pedagogies associated with play and/or games by sharing findings and reflections from research projects and practitioner inquiries across a range of settings and focuses.
Subscribers can read the entire issue online, while the editorial and an article by NZCER Senior Research Rachel Bolstad are free for anyone to read.
