An empirical study of gamification impact on e-Learning environment

Abstract

Effective e-Learning requiresstudents to be active, thus, creating an environment that engages the students is one of the challenges. One of the ways to build an engaging e-Learning environment is by applying gamification concept. It improves user engagement by enrichingthe system withthe game design elements. This research aims to analyze the impact of gamification environment on e-Learning system by looking at student's quantitative interaction. 38 students from different high schoolswere voluntarily joined to test out two different system. This experiment focus on observing the impact of removing and adding gamification on the existing e-Learning system. The result shows that removing gamification causes significant decrement on student participation while adding gamification had no significant impact.

The impact of job training on temporary worker performance: Field experimental evidence from insurance sales agents

“…However, evidence from the computer science literature regarding the effects of competition that results from gamification on learning is mixed. For instance, some studies find that it has zero or negative impacts on the effectiveness of education (e.g., Amriani, Aji, Utomo, & Junus, 2013;Hanus & Fox, 2015), and others find significant positive impacts of gamification on educational outcomes (e.g., Bellotti et al, 2013;Ibanez, Di-Serio, & Delgado-Kloos, 2014). 12 The insurance that TIA provides is compliant with Sharia, or Islamic, law so that it can be purchased by East Africans who observe Sharia.…”

Mathboard: An Intelligent Object for use in Educational Activities

“…Studies show that gamification has excellent ability to benefit users' knowledge and engagement in a variety of sectors, including educational environments. However, it is essential to emphasise that the role of teachers is of paramount importance in order for this process to be carried out effectively (Amriani et al, 2013).…”

Gamificação Para Motivar O Aprendizado Na Disciplina De Engenharia De Software a Distância: Uma Atividade Prática

“…Neste artigo foram aplicados dois ambientes diferentes para turmas de alunos, que aplicam efeitos diferentes nos alunos: relacionamento, competência, autonomia, área cognitiva, emocional e social (AMRIANI et al, 2013). Estes dois ambientes foram desenvolvidos baseados no sistema Moodle.…”
