Game On! The Potential for Gamification in Education

Educators across the country, from graduate schools to middle schools, are increasingly

focusing on gaming methodology to turn learning into an interactive experience.

Gamification uses game design elements in nongame contexts, but it should not be

confused with a traditional game of any kind. More than other disruptive technologies,

gamification has the potential to change content delivery systems in the classroom and create

truly meaningful experiences for students.

Nearly every school is challenged to motivate students and strengthen student

engagement. Successful student engagement is the foundation for learning and includes the

learning process, the subject matter, the purpose of study, and additional social and cultural

factors.

Gamification attempts to harness the motivational power of games and apply it to real-

world problems. Game players regularly exhibit persistence, risk-taking, attention to detail, and

problem-solving, all behaviors that ideally would be regularly demonstrated in school (Lee 7). Commented [GE1]:
Step 5: Check the Periodical Title source data for the Lee citation.

Game-like components that track activities such as custom avatars, badges, and other

rewards keep students motivated and task-oriented. Presentation can change behavior in many

settings. Researchers at Thefuntheory.com studied whether more people would choose

climbing stairs over taking an escalator if taking the stairs were more fun. When stairs were

covered to look and sound like piano keys, 66% more people than normal took the stairs,

proving that fun can positively impact behavior (The Fun Theory 1).

Several studies on instructional games revealed that the greatest benefits were

obtained when users could target specific content and knew the objectives. Instructional games

can provide measureable learning for many different types of learners. Making sure that

students knew how to play the game was often more important to students than how realistic

the game appeared (Franklin 46-52).

Adequately measuring the games effectiveness both during and after the activity is

crucial to determining whether learning is actually taking place and evaluating the return on

investment. There are four components to measurement:

1. Reaction Did the student enjoy the experience, and if so, how?

2. Learning How much did the student increase his or her knowledge

about the subject?

3. Behavior Did the students new knowledge translate in a real way?

4. Results Were the original goals met?

With adequate investment, training, and instructor guidance, gamification can reach the

same goals as quizzes and tests. Whether the market can sustain the investment remains an

open question.
