Possible Gamification Learning for Optimizing Student Learning Motivation?

Abstract

With low student learning motivation, a teacher must be creative so that students can have a more optimal learning motivation than before. One way to optimize student motivation is to use Gamification Learning. Gamification is a process that aims to change non-game contexts, one of which is in teaching and learning activities to be more attractive by integrating game mechanics, aesthetics, and thinking to motivate students in the learning process. Gamification includes game design elements, including points, scoreboards, badges, and challenges. This study uses a literature review research method that collects data from journals, books, and several other scientific sources relevant to this research topic. The results obtained are Gamification Learning can optimize students learning motivation.

Analysis of the Role of Gamification in Education: Its Impact on Student Motivation

“…The application of gamification must take into account the transition time aspect because students have different learning styles. This diversity ensures that intervention time and other elements can be adapted to suit individual needs, to provide a motivational and effective learning experience (Sholahudin & Yenti, 2022).…”

“…This can be encouraged because the assignments given have been packaged in the form of gamification and if they are late it will automatically be seen by the teacher so that this sub-indicator reflects an increase in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Gamification can significantly optimize learning motivation (Sholahudin & Yenti, 2022;Srimuliyani, 2023). The engagement level sub-indicator shows that 86,7% and 90,7% of students feel actively involved in the learning process.…”
