Corso di formazione per board game-based learning: modello di valutazione di impatto per un programma a livello nazionale in Italia

La GBL (Game Based Learning) è un metodo educativo molto noto a livello internazionale, ma poco utilizzato in Italia. Le ragioni sono diverse, compresa un'adeguata formazione al metodo. Da 4 anni il CSI Nazionale ha fatto partire il progetto "Didattica Ludica" con l'intento di formare operatori ludici ed introdurli all'uso della bGBL (Board Game Based Learning): ovvero l'utilizzo privilegiato del gioco da tavolo e di ruolo per uso educativo e didattico. Da Gennaio 2024 abbiamo iniziato un lavoro di valutazione d'impatto di tale corso: proponiamo qui i primi risultati e il prospetto dei futuri sviluppi, già presentati in anteprima presso la XXVIII edizione del ECGBL ad Aahrus lo scorso 3 Ottobre 2024.
