Teachers' views on gameful practices - A scoping review

Gameful education can foster students' lifelong learning perspectives, which is vital in the 21st century. However, implementation strongly depends on teachers' views about gameful practices. This scoping review aims to identify the characteristics of relevant studies and explore factors influencing gameful practices. Following the PRISMA protocol, 143 studies were analysed that focused on in-service teachers' beliefs, attitudes, or practices concerning gamification or game-based learning; published between 2013 and 2023; written in English; contained primary source; and peer-reviewed. The study introduces a typology of supporting and inhibiting factors, emphasising the importance of professional development and supportive communities.
