| Descrizione: | This study aims to examine the impact of board games on school learning through a systematic review of scientific literature published over the past eight years. The review focuses on the introduction of non-digital board games in compulsory education, specifically in formal education contexts such as Primary and Secondary Education. Data were drawn from 57 articles published in scientific journals during this period, employing systematic literature review frameworks (Tranfield et al., 2003) and adhering to PRISMA guidelines (Moher et al., 2009). A rigorous process of source selection and analysis was conducted, with findings presented according to geographic distribution, educational stages, knowledge areas, types of board games used, and outcomes achieved through interventions. The results reveal a broad geographical distribution of studies, a wide range of curricular areas involved—most notably Natural Sciences and Mathematics—and a preference for games designed by educators and researchers over commercially available ones. Board games were found to offer academic, social, and affective-motivational benefits, although further empirical research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of board game-based learning in real-world educational settings. |
