It is the use of game mechanics and experience design to engage and motivate people to achieve their goals. This strategy aims to increase motivation, improve knowledge retention, and foster better engagement among learners (Sera & Wheeler, 2016). LET'S PLAY MESSAGE RELAY!  PURPOSE OF GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION Efficacy of Motivation Gamification's effectiveness in education stems largely from its ability to boost student motivation. By incorporating elements like leaderboards, badges, and points, teachers can leverage students' inherent desire for achievement and recognition. These incentives encourage active engagement in learning, leading to improved focus and perseverance.  PURPOSE OF GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION Personalized Education and Quick Feedback Gamification facilitates personalized learning experiences by tailoring content to individual student needs and abilities. Adaptive technologies and data analysis enable educational platforms to deliver information that aligns with different learning styles, paces, and competency levels. Gamified environments also provide rapid feedback systems, allowing students to assess their progress, identify areas for improvement, and capitalize on their strengths.  PURPOSE OF GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION Promoting Social Learning and Collaboration Gamification in education fosters social engagement and teamwork, mirroring the collaborative nature of games. By incorporating multiplayer elements, group challenges, and peer-to- peer competition, students can cooperate, share ideas, and work together to solve problems. This promotes a sense of community within the educational setting, cultivating teamwork and essential social skills.  PURPOSE OF GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION Enhancing Problem-solving and Critical Thinking Abilities Gamification often presents students with complex challenges that require critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The dynamic nature of gamified learning encourages experimentation, analysis, and learning from mistakes. This process helps students apply their knowledge to real-world situations, fostering creativity and enhancing cognitive abilities. IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING LEARNING STYLE Understanding individual learning styles is crucial for effective education. When teaching methods align with students' preferences, they tend to grasp information better, retain it longer, and achieve higher performance levels. This approach fosters increased motivation, engagement, and confidence. Recognizing learning styles empowers students to become more efficient learners. According to Moussa (2014), educators can leverage this knowledge to develop teaching methods that cater to diverse learning styles, maximizing student learning and supporting a more inclusive educational environment.  GAMIFICATION LEARNING STYLES Every human being is unique. Even twins who appear identical can differ in behavior, possess distinct personalities, and be driven by different motivations in life. A person develops at their own pace and needs different learning styles to successfully achieve their goals. Gamification offers a chance for effective and stress-free learning by adapting to different learning styles. Whether someone learns best through movement, reading/writing, seeing or hearing, there are language games and activities tailored to fit their style, helping them learn more easily and effectively. 4 PICS 2 WORD SLVIAU NERERLA 4 PICS 2 WORD V I S U A L L E A R N E R LISTEN CAREFULLY Auditory Learner DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES WITH GAMIFIED LEARNING EXAMPLE Visual learner Visual learners tend to grasp information best when it is presented in formats like diagrams, charts, and graphs.

Students frequently work together to achieve common goals, promoting a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF GAMIFICATION IN ADDRESSING LEARNING STYLES DIFFERENCES POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF GAMIFICATION IN ADDRESSING LEARNING STYLES DIFFERENCES Not all students are fully engaged. While engagement is a key strength of gamification, as shown in various studies, it's important to note that some students may not experience full engagement. POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF GAMIFICATION IN ADDRESSING LEARNING STYLES DIFFERENCES Tasks were not completed Tasks are essential in gamified learning, as many activities require students to complete specific tasks to earn rewards. Elements like earning points, competing with peers, collaborating in teams, and facing time pressure encourage participation in class activities. However, studies have shown that not all tasks are completed for various reasons. POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF GAMIFICATION IN ADDRESSING LEARNING STYLES DIFFERENCES Problems in attitude arose. According to Sailer et al. (2017), gamification tests students' character. When gamification activities are prolonged, students may resort to cheating and procrastination during assessments. POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF GAMIFICATION IN ADDRESSING LEARNING STYLES DIFFERENCES Performance was Compromised Contrary to most of the results in the literature that gamification has a positive impact on achieving learning outcomes, some students were not performing well when activities were gamified. Smiderle et al. (2020) found that gamification negatively affected the rankings of introverted participants. DESIGNING GAMIFIED LEARNING EXPERIENCES ELEMENTS Points GUESS THE WORD GUESS THE WORD CHA LEAN CHESS GUESS THE WORD CHALLENGES GUESS THE WORD GUESS THE WORD BAD CHESS GUESS THE WORD BADGES GUESS THE WORD For bonus points: the first person to stand and shout their bias in BINI will have an additional 1 point to their team points GUESS THE WORD LEE DARE BOARD GUESS THE WORD LEADERBOARD ELEMENTS Points Badges Challenges Leaderboard For bonus points: the first person to stand and shout “BIG BIRD BIG BIRD BIG BIRD” will have an additional 1 point in our upcoming quiz; this is only effective until this slide is presented FORM OF GAMIFICATION DESIGN  e_p_i_it gamification This involves various strategies that use game mechanics in an obvious manner.  explicit gamification This involves various strategies that use game mechanics in an obvious manner.  im__i_it gamification This is known to be a kind which uses game elements and gamification techniques in a subtle fashion.  implicit gamification This is known to be a kind which uses game elements and gamification techniques in a subtle fashion. EIGHT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS For bonus points: the first person to stand and loudly sing Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” will have an additional 1 point in our upcoming quiz; this is only effective until this slide is presented  M_A_I_G While game elements points and badges are essential, focusing on these are considered inadequate.

Experts then elaborate that a well-thought gamification design presents challenges with corresponding clear goals, tracked progress, and feedback that are given immediately. This empowers the users to nurture mastery of the content of the gamification while adapting to personal skill levels to prevent exasperation. Choices and A_to_om_ It is highlighted that one factor why gamification is effective is because people engage into it voluntarily. It is said that a well- designed gamification should let users have autonomy over choosing their challenges, paths, and strategy as they seek victory within the game. It is said that this supports intrinsic motivation and personalization of learning experience. Choices and Autonomy It is highlighted that one factor why gamification is effective is because people engage into it voluntarily.
