As of 2019, “Research has shown 74% of teachers already implement digital game-based learning to help augment instruction” (Cahill, 2019). Some of these games are popular entertainment games used for educational purposes identified by the teacher. Other games are provided to educators from digital game-based learning (DGBL) platforms determined by administrators and school districts. There is no general consensus amongst experts on how to most effectively apply digital game-based learning to garner the most improvement for student achievement. With such a lack of guidance, educators are open to deciding when and how often to use DGBL. This paper will seek to develop recommended best practices for the use of digital game-based learning by analyzing literature and studies about DGBL.
