Abstract

This literature review explores the impact of esports on school culture and climate, focusing on how it influences student well-being, self-regulation, and psychological development of K-12 students. The literature review examines existing research to understand the implications of esports participation within educational contexts, specifically in elementary and high school grade levels. The review will address key dimensions such as safety, relationships, teaching and learning, institutional environment, and the school improvement process. Additionally, the literature review provides some background on the potential benefits and challenges associated with esports in K-12 schools, shedding light on its effects on students’ health, mindset, and overall school experience. These major groupings were derived from the general inquiry questions on esports school culture and climate from specific research that is currently available.
