How Learners are Developing Social-Emotional Skills with Minecraft

In 2017, Microsoft worked with educational researchers at Getting Smart on a study of students
learning with Minecraft: Education Edition. More than 90% of surveyed teachers cited problem-
solving, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration as skills gained through using Minecraft in
the classroom. In the two years since the study, several additional reports have cited the social-
emotional learning (SEL) benefits of Minecraft.

Our educator community has shared stories like this one about students developing empathy,
practicing conflict resolution, and demonstrating leadership skills—all when Minecraft: Education
Edition is part of the classroom learning environment.

“The Class of 2030 report predicted that by 2030, between 30 to 40 percent of jobs will
require explicit social-emotional skills. Students interviewed for this study explained their

 interest in personalized learning: “to explore and make choices that unlock their curiosity
and potential, and they want teachers who know and understand them as individuals.”
Minecraft is committed to meeting students and educators where they are, with learning
content and features that help them thrive in the classroom and beyond.” - Mojang
Studios

We’re excited to launch a new SEL content pack for BETT 2020. This set of special lessons and
immersive worlds for “Minecraft: Education Edition will help educators teach social-emotional
skills and create more inclusive classrooms.” Take a look at this article:
