CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
Proposal Submission Deadline: 31 May 2025
Practicing Ludic Pedagogy in Higher Education
A book edited by T. Keith Edmunds and Sharon Lauricella
Introduction
Ludic Pedagogy is a teaching philosophy that embraces the importance of fun, play, playfulness, and
positivity -- without sacrificing academic or intellectual rigor (Lauricella and Edmunds, 2023). In this
model, fun (the intrinsic motivator) is supported by the elements of play (action), playfulness (attitude),
and positivity (affect or state). While research has examined the impact of individual elements of this
model of learning, problems exist in that (1) each element is often examined in isolation and (2) there is
a dearth of research on these elements in the context of higher education. There exists a need to
further develop both research and practice that addresses the elements of Ludic Pedagogy in the
university and college environment. This open-access, edited volume will present successful activities
and cases that employ the Ludic Pedagogy model.
