Using gamification to prmote Social and Emotional Competences of students in the last grades of elementary school

The importance of social and emotional competences (SECs) for fostering academic achievement and promoting the personal and social well-being of students has long been recognised in the literature. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of an educational scenario, using gamification as a method to promote SECs of students in the last grades of elementary school.
The aim of this dissertation is twofold. Firstly, it aims to provide a comprehensive review of appropriate digital games, which can be used to support a social and emotional learning (SEL) intervention in the classroom. Secondly, the design of a gamified educational experience based on Blended-Learning (BL) and Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is presented.
The educational gamification platform, Classcraft, was utilised to facilitate the design of activities aimed at enhancing essential skills for the healthy mental development of students. The educational scenario was implemented in real class settings of a state elementary school in the urban area of Athens, over a period of four weeks (four contact hours in total). Due to certain limitations, the intervention was only assessed through secondary observation.
Overall, the results showed an improvement in collaboration, teamwork and communication.
Redesign of the intervention is suggested and the extension of its implementation
