To improve and facilitate the acquisition of learning outcomes, teachers often use innovative teaching methods such as gamification to keep students' attention and increase their motivation. In recent years, the use of educational data mining (EDM) methods to explore academic topics has increased. With the expansion of EDM, a gap in the literature…

Over the past few years, the concept of gamification has gained increased attention in foreign language teaching research as it demonstrates potential to promote motivation and learner engagement. The authors of the paper believe that gamification can become an innovative and promising tool to help students overcome their motivational…

Gamifying is related to the motivational gain and engagement of participants in these systems, even in situations not exclusively related to the creative and entertainment industry. In the Biology teaching context, motivational strategies have fundamental importance to the learning process. The aim of this work was to investigate the development…

This article presents a study on the implementation of a virtual escape-room game as a novel teaching methodology in biochemistry education. The game aimed to engage students in producing monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 while reinforcing theoretical concepts and fostering teamwork. Three versions of the game were tested, incorporating…

Learning takes motivation; therefore, educators need to pay attention to what motivates the student to improve one's learning. It was not known how community college psychology students describe the use of gamification as a motivator for improved learning. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how psychology students at…

This dissertation contributes to our comprehension of the impact of gamification on online cooperative learning, particularly in enhancing educational outcomes (behavior, cognition, and attitudes). Through explanatory mixed-method research, this study aims to answer to what extent gamification influences educational outcomes in the context of…

This study aims to analyze the use of virtual reality and gamification in education by examining the existing literature. In addition to virtual reality, this study focuses on gamified virtual reality learning environments which refer to virtual reality learning environments that integrate gamification elements and mechanisms. Based on the…

Traditional teaching methods in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AMT) often struggle to maintain student engagement, motivation, and knowledge retention. While gamification has been recognised as a potential solution, its application in AMT education remains underexplored, particularly in bridging theoretical knowledge with practical skill…

Despite the growing attention towards gamification in learning context, challenge-based gamification application has rarely been subjected to testing in education. In recognition of this void, and grounded on gamification principles, we developed Educhall web-based program. Drawing on self-determination theory, and flow theory the present study…

In today's dynamic and high-tech learning environment, offering flexible and innovative assignment options is crucial for engaging students across varied learning preferences and backgrounds. Alternative formats, such as gamification and storyboards, can boost engagement, spark creativity, and enhance learning outcomes in college classrooms. By…

Different variables such as motivation, achievement, and engagement have been investigated in studies on gamification in the field of educational technologies. However, the obtained results differ, which emphasizes the need for studies based on concrete findings related to current trends and needs. In this study, we aim to reveal current research…

Gamified flipped classroom (GFC) is becoming more and more popular. Is it more effective than traditional flipped learning? This meta-analysis explores the effects of GFC on students' learning based on 17 high-quality experimental articles. The results suggest that GFC has an upper-medium positive effect on students' learning (SMD = 0.769, p <…

This study investigates the impact of gamified learning, specifically through computerised and paper-based board games, compared to conventional teaching methods on science education for 10-year-old students. We conducted an experimental design with 574 Malaysian Type Chinese Primary School participants, using pre-and post-tests, questionnaires,…

Innovations have been made to educational strategies in health sciences to increase intrinsic motivation in students which helps generate a significant and active learning in students with the help of methodologies, such as gamification, using escape rooms (ER) and the use of digital tools, such as the Sectra Table. The objective of this study is…

In the contemporary digital era, the utilization of gaming has emerged as a prevalent method for actively engaging students in the learning processes at various levels of academic curricula and within the broader educational community. This trend is particularly pronounced in English language teaching curricula, especially among learners whose…
