Our wide-scale research project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Education Innovation and Research (EIR) program, is entering its third year. 

Impact Florida, WestEd, and Legends of Learning have partnered with a large Florida district to explore one key question: How can game-based learning lead to better academic outcomes for students in science?

During the project’s first two years, teachers and district leaders provided feedback on how Legends of Learning, a standards-aligned, online platform that teaches science through interactive games, can be integrated into everyday classroom practice. Teachers and students also shared impressions of using the game-based learning platform. 

Early results showed that game-based learning made science class more fun and it helped students understand science concepts. Participating teachers found it to be especially effective for keeping students engaged and for reinforcing key science concepts. English learners also reported strong engagement, indicating that game-based learning can help these students participate meaningfully in science class.

“My favorite things about [the platform] are that I can actually learn while playing, which makes me want to learn more about science.”
— Fifth grade student

“I liked that it is a new and interactive way for my students to practice science skills and reinforce topics.”
— Fifth grade science teacher

Now, with two years of research and feedback in hand, our team is moving into the next phase. The goal is to take what we have learned and test two promising implementation models to identify the best way to integrate game-based learning into regular science instruction.

Model A: Prescribed Time, Flexible Use

• Teachers will use the game-based learning platform at least twice per week for about 30 minutes each session.
• Teachers can select between District Assignments or create their own.
  • District Assignments are composed of games, videos, and assessments. Administrators can pre-select this content to align with district curricula.
• The game-based learning platform will be used as core instruction during class time, not as a free-choice, reward, or early finisher activity.

This model gives teachers clear expectations for use but allows flexibility to choose or curate assignments that best meet their students’ needs.

Model B: Prescribed Assignments, Flexible Time

• Teachers will ensure that students complete all District Assignments made available to them.
• Teachers will have flexibility in when and how often to use the platform.
• Assignments should not be modified, which ensures consistency across classrooms.
• Like Model A, the platform will be used as core instruction during class time.

This model focuses on coherence and alignment across classrooms, giving districts insight into how a prescribed set of assignments can support student learning.

Together, these two approaches will allow researchers and district partners to explore a key question: Does game-based learning work best when teachers have flexibility to adopt or create assignments, or when districts create consistent, unified assignments for all classrooms?

Scaling Up Implementation of Game-Based Learning

The next three years will be the most exciting and informative part of the project so far. Here is why educators and district leaders across Florida should keep an eye on what is coming next.

1. Better Understanding of How Teachers Can Optimally Implement Game-Based Learning

By comparing the two implementation models, our research team will learn how teachers integrate game-based learning into their science instruction and the extent to which they use it consistently and effectively throughout the school year.

2. A Model for Scale 

Over the 2026-2027 school year, the chosen implementation model will be tested in hundreds of classrooms across 80 schools to determine the impact of the platform on teacher and student outcomes and to give researchers and practitioners real-world insights into what works for teachers and students. This model may hold promise for making science learning more engaging and effective in districts across Florida and beyond.

Can game-based learning can help teachers bridge the gap between engagement and academic achievement by pairing science content with the kind of interactive experiences students already love?

Teaching science in the upper elementary grades can be an uphill climb. After pandemic-related disruptions, Florida statewide science proficiency rates dropped sharply, from 55% in 2018 to 47% in 2021. At the same time, today’s students are growing up in an interactive, screen-saturated world. Between 2019 and 2021, daily screen time for children ages 8–12 in the U.S. rose by nearly an hour, with much of that time spent playing video games like Roblox and Minecraft.

The challenge for schools isn’t just to teach science; it’s to capture and sustain students’ attention. Research shows that increasing student engagement with their learning is one of the keys to raising test scores.

Research shows that increasing student engagement with their learning is one of the keys to raising test scores.

To better understand and address this issue, we are studying how an online, standards-aligned, game-based platform can enhance science instruction and encourage student participation in science learning. Supported by an Education Innovation and Research (EIR) Mid-phase grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the project brings together Impact Florida, Legends of Learning, and WestEd to develop and test a scalable, evidence-based model for using game-based learning to boost science learning outcomes in one large Florida district. Now wrapping up its second year, the five-year project has already yielded valuable insights.

Learning Science Through Games

In the first two years, the project’s formative research phase has focused on understanding how teachers and students use the platform in classrooms. In addition, district leaders, teachers, and students made suggestions on how to improve the platform.

Teachers reported feeling that game-based learning supports their science instruction and students enjoyed using the game-based learning platform, calling it fun and educational. Also, teachers and students alike said game-based learning helps foster deeper understanding.

“One of my students . . . was confused between weathering and erosion. And he came up to me and he’s like, ‘I was playing the game and now I really understand it because in the game it showed us.” Fifth grade science teacher

This kind of feedback highlights the power of game-based learning to strengthen comprehension.

Another important finding from the project’s early research is that teachers need seamless ways to connect game-based learning to their existing curriculum and instructional activities.

Many said they loved the games but wanted to more easily find those aligned to current standards or lessons. In the next phase, the project is implementing updated features that strengthen the connection between classroom instruction and game-based learning, including:

• District-endorsed assignments that align with local pacing guides – Administrators can pre-select games and activities aligned with district curricula.  
• Personalized learning mode – The recommendation of games to students based on real-time performance.  
• Data dashboards – Teachers and administrators can view reports that connect gameplay to learning goals and standards.

These updates will make it easier for teachers to use the game-based learning platform effectively while saving valuable planning time, and for schools to integrate game-based learning into their science instruction at scale.

Game Plan for the Future

Over the next three years, our team will develop and test game-based learning implementation models, conduct a large-scale impact study to determine if classrooms using the game-based learning platform versus those who are not using it show differences in student science learning outcomes, and share findings with educators nationwide.

Across one large Florida district, classrooms are already buzzing with energy as students explore, experiment, and level up their science learning.
