Abstract | Studies have shown tabletop role playing games (TRPGs) to be effective motivational learning tools that can be utilized in various subject matter. However, limited research has analyzed the elements within TRPGsthat enable them to provide motivation to the users. As such, this study conducted an in-depth examination of the elements of TRPGs through the perception of players. Self-determination theory helped frame the study, while the generic qualitative inquiry approach was used for the methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants. Data revealed several themes that aligned with the motivational frame related to competency, relatedness, and autonomy. The findings indicate the importance of the roleplaying element and the connection between the player and their in-game character, as well as the effect choices within the game have on the players and other elements of TRPGs. Implications regarding design of TRPGs as learning tools are discussed. (As Provided). |
