“…Previous studies have discussed how gamification affects performance element. For example, research findings [72], show that challenge-based games with a gamification approach increase student performance by 34.75% on the topic of statistical forecasting. Meanwhile, [67] the use of gamification can improve project quality and output across all software processes and their study concluded that multi-dimensional game-based learning increases the probability of project completion in a timely manner.…”

Gamification has become a new trend in learning in the 21st century, by utilizing technology with game elements to change behavior and support learning outcomes. However, few researchers have focused on the comprehensive impact of gamification in helping researchers to better understand developments over the past few years. The ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis, Springer, Wiley, and SAGE publisher databases were surveyed and a total of forty articles from 2016-2021, were selected for review. Data analysis using NVivo 12 Plush software, with Hierarchy Chart and Mind Map methods. The main findings indicate the positive impact of gamification on student behavior and learning outcomes, including affective, cognitive, behavioral, and performance or others. The researcher recommends the continuity of gamification on learning outcomes and behavior, that interface design and teacher cognitive abilities are strategies or successful learning.

“…N. Legaki et al consider the possibilities of gamification to support decision-making, acquisition of forecasting skills in the conditions of the uncertain future (Legaki et al, 2021). Scientists prove that gamification tools can and should be used to model different scenarios of the situation development and stimulate the solution of cognitive problems.…”

“…Murillo-Zamorano et al determine that gamification services have a powerful didactic potential to support schoolchildren at all stages of their cognitive, career-oriented activities (Murillo-Zamorano et al, 2021). Moreover, experts predict that in the future, learning based on the principles of gamification will go beyond e-courses and become an integral, organic part of the educational process (Legaki et al, 2021).…”

The problem that the research is aimed at is caused by the need to use gamification methods and tools when studying the basics of algorithmization and programming for students to get the experience of communication with other people and artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and project management most demanded on the labor market.The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the effectiveness of gamification in learning the basics of algorithmization and programming to improve the quality of students' educational results.The research methodology consists of the analysis and generalization of scientific works on the problems of gamification of learning and cognition processes, studying the basics of algorithmization. Empirical methods were used: observation, analysis of the results of work in the LogoWorlds program.The results of the study. The paper clarifies the essence of the concept "educational results" and uses programming language tools to design a learning environment based on the principles of gamification, as much as possible focused on improving their quality. Specific materials are proposed that can be used to develop the ideas of gamification in the digital school, while justifying the need to study algorithmization and programming at all levels of education and training.

“…Several game elements are usually used in educational contexts, such as badges, leaderboards, rewards, storylines, and progress bars [13]. Although those game elements seem effective in the academic context, designing gamification must be cautious since it will affect students' learning experience [14]. Therefore, it is essential to understand the working mechanism of gamification itself [15].…”

Gamification is described as the art of changing human activity to a game-like environment to gain user engagement. Rimigs is a developed gamification system discussed in this research and was built based on Octalysis framework. This research aims to design and identify the impact of using a gamification system on students’ motivation and performance, especially in programming classes. Through Rimigs, students’ engagement and performance can be enhanced by freely choosing tasks or quests according to the rank points, completing these tasks or quests, getting experience points, getting rewards, avoiding punishment at certain times, and competing with others friends. The proposed research was done by using the iterative methodologies and consists of four phases, starting from i) literature review, which identifies the Octalysis’ core, ii) design, which identifies the game elements used in the system and designing the unified modeling language (UML) diagram of the system, iii) testing, which involve the user in the using of the system, and iv) implementation, which is the analysis step for the impact of Rimigs in students’ performance and engagement. This research finds that Rimigs as a gamification system can positively impact both students’ motivation and performance.
