Gamification student motivation learning performance active learning educational strategies.Abstract
This article examines the impact of gamification on student motivation and learning performance. Gamification, which applies game elements such as points, badges, challenges, and leaderboards to educational activities, has been shown to increase engagement, motivation, and academic achievement. The study highlights how gamified tasks enhance intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, problem-solving skills, and collaborative learning. While challenges such as overemphasis on rewards exist, proper implementation supports active, learner-centered, and effective education.References
