the Research

Using gamification in the classroom has implications of instilling positive student attitudes, promoting adaptability, and encouraging class participation (Chen et al., 2020.) In addition, students will build community, encourage each other, and increase competence. Using frequent competitions and challenges, students can work to improve in specific teacher selected areas of behavior or show growth in collaboration and contributions.
