048 Gamification & Research Impact

Two Pint PLC

Gamification offers a fresh take on teaching design that offers increased engagement and improved learning. However, research to-date has been unclear about what components of gamification work. We read a meta-analysis that searches for which pieces of gamification can benefit your students. Later, we turned to a study of how research is interpreted by teachers. They identify which measures are popular and which ones are effective. As teachers, we can recognize our preference so we can manage our bias as we read.
