В высших учебных заведениях всё сильнее возрастает давление на то, чтобы сформировать у студентов компетенцию справляться со сложными вызовами, связанными с устойчивостью окружающей среды. Игровое обучение (game-based learning, GBL) представляет собой перспективный подход, вовлекающий студентов и способствующий развитию знаний и умений, необходимых для устойчивого развития. В данном исследовании изучается потенциял симуляционной игры SEED, разработанной с использованием Фреймворк Октализа (the Octalysis Framework), для улучшения качества обучения экологической устойчивости. Исследование смешанными методами было проведено 45 высшыми учебными заведениями, принимающими участие в игре SEED, и заполнившими постыгровой эвалюационный опросник. Количественные анализы включали: описательные статистики, корреляции и метод главных компонент. Качественная обратная связь была проанализирована также по тематическому критерию. Результаты показывают, что игра SEED способствует актизивации студентов, побуждает их мотивацию и помогает получить знания по устойчивости окружающей среды на среднем уровне, до высокого. Принципы Развития и достижения, а также Общественного влияния и сопричастности, оказываются самыми эффективными мотивационными факторами. Было найдено сильное соотношение между вовлечённостью и мотивацией. Студенты особенно ценили игровой реализм, персонализацию и возможность входить в социальные взаимодействия. Итоги подчеркнули значение включения умело разработанных игр в процесс обучения устойчивости окружающей среды. Это касается особенно новых поколений, у которых есть специфические образовательные предпочтения. Результаты указывают также на ключевые соображения студентов для будущей разработки игр и образовательной практики, включая большое значение транспарентных механизмов обратной связи и учёта разновидных ожиданий учащихся. Данное исследование вносит вклад в текущие усилия по использованию геймификации для поддержки преобразующего обучения в устойчивом развитии.
