Esports in Education

One study found that action video games improve the ability to locate a target stimulus among distractions — a test that predicts driving ability.
In one long-term study, teens who played strategy-focused video games improved their problem-solving abilities and grades the following year.
A Harvard study showed that kids who played sports video games were frequently motivated to take up athletics in real life.
The Association for Middle Level Education points out that video games often require kids to perfect their strategies and methods of attack through repetitious trial and error. “Delays of gratification have been correlated to better study behaviors and decreased drug usage,” the association notes.
