“…Escape rooms have also been used for wider groups of students and not aimed at professional or discipline-specific skills or knowledge, such as information literacy (e.g. Davis, 2019;Pun, 2017). Some of the studies aimed to explore the value of educational escape rooms generally and did not focus on a specific subject (e.g.…”

This review article focuses on use of an escape room as a didactic tool in teaching and learning, as identified in empirical studies that have examined the use of escape rooms in educational contexts. The review studied the methods used to study escape rooms, what the focus of attention was, what the reported use was, and implications this has for the use of escape rooms for teaching and learning. Our analysis showed that most studies are concerned with the implementation and use of an escape room in relation to four fields of attention; scenario, curriculum, 21st-century skills, and motivation. Overall, the reviewed articles indicate that more studies are needed on the use of escape rooms for educational purposes. It seems that research on this topic has reached a new phase, and there is a need for structured research and transparency in the research design and methods for data collection and analysis. We see opportunities for the use of escape rooms as a didactic tool in primary and secondary education, and in teacher education.

“…An equally familiar form of library instruction is the one-shot session or class. Librarians have addressed fake news or incorporated news literacy into existing library-orientation courses (Jeffries et al, 2017;Pun, 2017), offered optional workshops for students (Neely-Sardon & Tignor, 2018;Rush, 2018;Wade & Hornick, 2018), developed course modules (Auberry, 2018), and more (e.g., Agosto, 2018;Branstiter et al, 2018;Rush, 2018). Although some faculty have reached out to librarians to help address concerns about news literacy (e.g., Wade & Hornick, 2018), others remain "unaware of the connection between news literacy and information literacy, and that librarians could tailor instruction sessions around fake news" (Neely-Sardon & Tignor, 2018, p. 6).…”

This article surveys the library and information science (LIS) response to the problems of fake news and misinformation from the 2016 U.S. presidential election to the end of 2018, focusing on how librarians and other information professionals in the United States have articulated the problems and the paths forward for combating them. Additionally, the article attempts to locate the LIS response in a larger interdisciplinary misinformation research program, provide commentary on the response in view of that research program, and lay out both a possible research agenda for the field and practical next steps for educators ahead of the 2020 election.

“…Journal of Youth Development | http://jyd.pitt.edu / | Vol. 15 Issue 6 DOI 10.5195/jyd.2020.919 Resource Review: Breakout EDU 327 Current literature focuses on using escape rooms in post-secondary environments to study topics such as sport and exercise science (Humphrey, 2017), medicine (Wu et al, 2018), pharmacy (Eukel et al, 2017), and information/research literacy (Pun, 2017;O'Brien & Pitera, 2019), as well as with high school chemistry students (Nguyen, 2018). This literature suggests that youth engagement in escape rooms can develop "soft skills," including cooperation, communication, leadership, collaboration, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills (Humphrey, 2017;Nicholson, 2018;O'Brien & Pitera, 2019;Rouse, 2017;Wu et al, 2018).…”

Game-based learning is becoming an increasingly popular pedagogical technique for providing engaging learning experiences for youth. The Breakout EDU platform provides an opportunity to bring game-based learning into formal and non-formal learning environments using an escape-room-like approach while teaching specific subject areas and building life skills. There are more than 1,500 ready-made games for teaching a variety of topic areas, from science and math to team building, in any learning context. It also provides resources and tools to support youth development professionals in creating their own games. This review provides an overview of Breakout EDU and its kit and digital platform components and offers considerations for youth development professionals.
