The participants of the research consist of twelve primary school teachers who work at different schools and who teach different grades. In this research, semi-structured interview form, which was prepared by the researchers as a data collecting tool was used. The data acquired from the interviews done with the participants, was analyzed through content analysis. According to the results of the research, it was determined that majority of the primary school teachers perceive the concept of gamification as an educational game.

Improving the success of the students and increasing their motivation in lessons were determined as the reason for using gamification elements. The foremost problem that primary school teachers face while the using gamification elements is the over-competitive behavior occurring amongst the students. As the second, the problem of regression in the students whose levels are low is stated. As for solving the problems faced, using the gamification elements taking into consideration some other actions- not success in lessons- is determined to be the most effective solution.
