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.

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 [GE3]:
Step 3: The body paragraph beginning with "Nearly every school"
should be pasted below the paragraph beginning with
Nearly every school is challenged to motivate students and strengthen student "Gamification uses game design elements."

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.

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.

and sound like piano keys, 66% more people than normal took the stairs, proving that fun can

positively impact behavior (The Fun Theory 1). Commented [GE4]:

Step 4: The body paragraph starting with "Game-like components
that track..." should have a 0.5" First Line indent.
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). Commented [GE5]:

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.
Step 4: The body paragraph starting with "Several studies on
instructional..." should have a 0.5" First Line indent.
Commented [GE6]:
Step 10: Check the City source data for the citation.

There are four components to measurement: Commented [GE7]:

Step 4: The body paragraph starting with "Adequately measuring
the games effectiveness..." should have a 0.5" First Line indent.
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. Commented [GE8]:

investment, training..." should have a 0.5" First Line indent.
