A recently published study in Natural Sciences Education explores the perceptions, attitudes, and competence of secondary school agriculture, food, and natural resource (AFNR) educators regarding the use of instructional games as a teaching tool. The researchers found two predominant factors supporting teacher utilization of games during instruction: utility value and competency beliefs. Other factors such as lack of clear student learning outcomes and resource costs may inhibit teachers’ use of games to educate.
