In order to better understand the potential benefits of the use of video game creation as a pedagogical strategy, it is important to know and to have a critical overview of the available research findings on this subject matter. Our research question is thus the following: What is the reported research concerning video game creation by students? The main goals of our study are: 1. To identify and map the research conducted so far within this subject area; 2. To search for and analyse evidence of relations between video game creation by students and behavioural and/or learning outcomes. In this paper we present a protocol for a systematic review of the literature intended to address the proposed research aims.
