“…Therefore, it is thought that research activities can be more smoothly executed by preparing guidelines of research activities for such students. We have classified all research activities into 11 main activities and 100 sub-activities [8]. We call this the research activity map and express it in the mind map format.…”

“…We have developed a comprehensive gamification framework for general research activities [8] [9]. Specifically, it provides a research activity concierge (RAC) system, which is a platform for recording and organizing everyday challenges and tasks arising in discussions and for visualizing the results when they are applied to real actions.…”

Abstract-Research activities carried out daily in research laboratories, include conducting investigations, giving seminars on progress, performing experiments, analyzing results, and writing papers, but all of these research activities involve steady, methodical work that does not produce immediate, visible results. For this reason, a mechanism to maintain motivation when research is not going well or to help students get on track with research when they have just been assigned to a laboratory could be useful. Students that have just begun their research may not yet understand how to proceed. We previously developed a research activity concierge (RAC) system, which is a platform to encompass general research activities, and applied gamification to this system to keep user motivation high. However, even with the RAC, non-research-savvy students have difficulty handling challenges and executing tasks. In this research, we focused on discussions in seminars and introduced a mechanism to support task execution in students' research activities by implementing automatic extraction of task statements into the RAC.

“…The gamification framework for research activities is shown in Figure 5. This framework has eight elements [8]: "goals", "rules", "visualization", "design", "social", "tutorial", "difficulty adjustment", and "play cycle." In this research, we applied three elements of goals, rules, and visualization to RAC.…”

Various research activities are carried out every day in research laboratories, including conducting investigations, giving seminars on progress, performing experiments, analyzing results, and writing papers, but all of these activities involve steady, methodical work that does not produce immediate, visible results. For this reason, a mechanism to maintain motivation when research is not going well or to help students get on track with research when they have just been assigned to a laboratory could be useful. Students that have just begun their research may not yet understand how to proceed. In this research, we have developed a research activity concierge (RAC) system, which is a platform to encompass general research activities, and applied gamification to this system to keep motivation high. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of the RAC system on the action setting and motivation and analyzed operational logs to improve usability.
