摘要：Educational research on videogames has demonstrated benefits of using videogames as instructional tools in classrooms because learning becomes meaningful and interesting for students because it incorporates student’s needs. The aim of this study was to explore the benefits and meanings of implementing videogames in a Puerto Rican public school classroom using a mixed-methods multi-dimensional design. Our findings show that implementation of video games for learning English in public school classrooms is beneficial and meaningful to students. Quantitative and qualitative findings showed favorable outcomes and provided evidence to support this.
