AB Game-based learning (GBL) refers to the use of games to support learning in educational settings or as educational tools. The objectiveof this qualitative study is to gain an in-depth knowledge of what GBL means for the educational community of a public school inSpain and to explore the impactGBLhas on the teaching-learning process. Data were collected through document analysis, observationduring the game sessions (45 students), a focus group (6 teachers), and by in-depth interviews (1 family member, 1 teacher, and 2students).Data analysis used constant comparison until category saturationwas achieved. The participants conceptualized GBL aroundthreemain topics: (1) GBL characteristics, (2) participation, and (3) quality learning and reasoning. Thematic coding of their statementssuggested that GBL encourages participation in school; this produces motivation and contributes to educational inclusion. GBL yieldsquality learning in both content and curricular competencies and favors the development of the executive functions (EFs), which are thebasis of high-level thinking abilities. Results suggest that GBL is a favorable active methodology for the twenty-first-century school.The data is discussed in light of child development and learning in an educational context.
