Abstract:
Gamification, the useof game design elements and game mechanics in non-game contexts, has become an increasingly popular approach to enhance end-user engagement. This concept has been used successfully in various businesses, including the educational area, and a lot of research is ongoing since it seeks to promote the quality of learners. Gamification is one of the learning approaches and techniques, which can increase motivation and engagement of students in learning. In an effort to better understand how the gamification approach can be harnessed effectively to this end, this paper explores how gamification can be applied to education to improvestudent’s motivation and engagement in learning. We present a review of existing literature on this subject as well as a case study on applying gamification to the educational setting.
