Fulfilling basic psychological needs can lead to better learning, academic performance, and well-being. In this study, an anatomy program integrated gamification and drawing methods to explore their influence on…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a research model based on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model to explore whether gamification and personalization as environmental stimuli to learners' learning engagement (LE) can affect their learning persistence (LP) in massive open online courses (MOOCs) and, in turn, their learning…

Emerging adulthood is a developmental stage influenced by the regularity of healthy behaviors. Gamification is the motivational strategy using virtual rewards and social comparison. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and proof of concept of utilizing digital badges, leaderboards, and quests as gamified learning in a health course. All…

It is known that teachers commonly utilize learning platforms equipped with Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) to support students in their Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) endeavors. However, students may struggle to effectively employ LAD due to a lack of sufficient metacognitive skills. Co-regulation of learning (CoRL) has been proven to…

Teachers are generally focused on optimizing the teaching-learning process and fostering high levels of student engagement, participation, and motivation.
