Info
Learning does not need to be sacrifice and suffering. Interestingly, when working with learners, many do not consider learning in a play environment as learning like they expect in school; when asked, they felt like they should have had to study and be tested.
Conversely, when the learners were asked to discuss the game and play activities, and these were related to traditional academic outcomes, and the processes they participated in were made explicit, they felt they had achieved a much greater awareness of their learning, the content, and felt more confidence in their ability to build knowledge.
A game can teach facts, process, and context, but it is also important to have the game
