“…Since many of those games relate to Scavenger Hunts, further research was done in this direction. The team came up with promising and established games, which had been the focus of a previous research project [17] Both games have one thing in common: GPS-enabled devices which can be found in most state-of-the-art smartphones. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) or respective Munzee.…”

Abstract-Gamification has become a hot topic for today's educators. Many tools and methods have been developed and students have got used to Foursquare or Barcoo. This paper introduces an easy and cost-effective method that educators can use to develop custom-made Scavenger Hunts which meet the needs and expectations of their various fields.In fact, the method can be used for multiple purposes, topics and audiences: elementary school children can be addressed as well as adult workers. The only devices needed to deploy the method are a QR-code-scanning device (such as a smartphone) and a GPS device. It must also be considered that almost 50 per cent of the U.S. population owns a smartphone. As a consequence our method -called "QuizeRo" -can be considered easy to use. It is also expected to make teaching more fun. The paper will offer a toolkit for individual use and a howto guide based on the presenter's own research and experience. A best practice case will also be presented to illustrate the impact on education. Moreover the paper will address advantages of learning in a playful setting and will outline further steps to quantify the outcome of this specific method.

“…Muntean [33] argues that gamification is not about the process of creating games; it is focused on making learning fun and engaging while ensuring the integrity of the learning experience. The main area of agreement is the importance of embedding the gaming characteristics in the context of learning [31]. Ultimately by employing gamification into any environment, be it commercial or educational, the focus should be about making the overall experience more engaging, thereby motivating the employee or the learner to achieve.…”

“…Typical implementations have involved the use of IS, providing employees with intrinsic rewards for completing tasks. Despite increasingly widespread discussion on the topic with broad agreement on many key aspects of the concept, a single working definition of gamification has not been agreed by either researchers or practitioners [31]. Kapp's [32] understanding of gamification focuses on a variety of actions to engage, motivate, promote and solve problems.…”

This paper considers the intersection of technology and play through the novel approach of gamification and its application to early years education. The intrinsic connection between play and technology is becoming increasingly significant in early years education. By creating an awareness of the early years adoption of technology into guiding frameworks, and then exploring the makeup of gaming elements, this paper draws connections for guiding principles in adopting more technologyfocused play opportunities for Generation Alpha.

“…La gamificación en la educación está representada en la literatura académica por múltiples términos: Gameducation (Mohammad, 2014), Gamification based lear-ning (Pace, Dipace y di Matteo, 2014), o gamificación per se (Erenli, 2012;Wood y Reiners, 2012). Aunque no exista una conceptualización única referente a la gamificación en el sector educativo, en todas se presenta al alumnado de cara a una experiencia que tiende a ser inmersiva, cambiando principios dispuestos por la educación tradicional a nuevos parámetros del aprendizaje, fundamentados en la motivación y en la identificación social, aplicando mecanismos de juegos para lograr que el proceso pedagógico sea más atractivo, y en última instancia, efectivo.…”

Resumen. La presencia de elementos lúdicos en el contexto educativo, específicamente en la modalidad de formación E-learning, demuestra que la incorporación de la gamificación sistematiza la experiencia del usuario en base a parámetros relacionados con los juegos. Este artículo presenta la integración de dos modelos conceptuales de gamificación extraídos de la revisión literaria publicada entre el 2012 y el 2015, validando cada una de las dimensiones e indicadores mediante un estudio Delphi con expertos en pedagogía y diseño de juegos. Posteriormente, se exhiben los resultados cualitativos de la aplicación del modelo en 6 aplicaciones móviles educativas analizadas durante 7 meses (junio 2015-enero 2016) manifestando la correlación de los modelos seleccionados según los criterios de idoneidad y pertinencia. En definitiva, el siguiente modelo construye una vía de conexión entre la base teórica y el análisis empírico de la gamificación con el fin de sobreponerse a los retos de la educación E-learning en el siglo XXI teniendo como última instancia la transposición del modelo teórico a un modelo de utilidad cuantitativo al servicio de futuras investigaciones. Palabras clave: Construcción de modelos; tecnología de la educación; nuevas tecnologías; juego educativo; enseñanza a distancia.[en] Integrated Theoretical Gamification Model in E-Learning Environments (E-MIGA) Abstract. The presence of game elements on the educational context, specifically on the E-learning modalities, shows that incorporating gamification systematizes the user experience based on parameters related to the games. Considering this issue, this paper presents the integration of two conceptual models of gamification extracted from the literature review published between 2012 and 2015, validating each of the dimensions and indicators through a Delphi study with experts in pedagogy and game design. The application of the model in 6 educational mobile applications for 7 months (June 2015-January 2016) demonstrating the correlation of selected models according to the criteria of suitability and relevance. In short, the following model builds a connection path between the theoretical basis and empirical analysis of gamification in order to overcome the challenges of E-learning education in the XXI century having as ultimate implication the transposition of the theoretical model to a quantitative utility model at the service of future research.
