The Adoption of Students' Hedonic Motivation System Model to Gamified Learning Environment

Abstract

The acceptance of gamified learning environment is rapidly becoming inevitable in educational learning environment. This gives a widespread popularity by deploying Gamification in to present day curriculum as part of a new educational technology tool. This study addresses perception and usage of gamified learning environment from hedonic motivation perspective through incorporating the Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model to Gamified Learning Environment. In this study, a model was developed and tested using a Structure Equation Modelling technique. The results show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, enjoyment and control all have a significant positive relationship with behavioural intention of use and focused immersion which indicates that the acceptance of Gamified Learning Environment could serve as a new educational tool to expedite the improvement of pedagogical and instructional technology. Also, increases students' motivation and engagement in learning. On the contrary, we also found a negative relationship exists between enjoyment and focused Immersion. Possible research on the effect of enjoyment on focused immersion in gamification could be another area of concentration. In this study, aside from the introduction, the literature explains the adoption of the gamified learning environment and the hedonic motivation model at the end, the analysis and interpretation of our methodology were discussed.

Fitnesser’s Intrinsic Motivations of Green Eating: An Integration of Theory of Planned Behavior and Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model

“…Grounded in flow-based cognitive absorption (CA), Lowry et al (2012) improved the HMS by integrating intrinsic motivations, such as curiosity and joy in the HMSAM. Oluwajana et al (2019) found that curiosity, joy, and perceived usefulness have a direct impact on behavior intention based on HMSAM. Past studies also provided empirical evidence linkages between behavioral intention intrinsic motivations (i.e., curiosity, joy, and perceived usefulness) (e.g., Koo and Choi, 2010;Shu, 2014;Mohammadi, 2015).…”

Mobile banking usage and gamification: the moderating effect of generational cohorts

“…Therefore, mbanking attractiveness makes consumers habitual towards gamification. A study addressed the perception and usage of the gamified learning environment from a hedonic motivation perspective and found enjoyment is significant with BI (Oluwajana, Idowu, Nat, Vanduhe, & Fadiya, 2019). On the other hand, gamification provides fun and pleasure to use technology, hence the study tried to investigate how HM affects gamification.…”

What Deters Online Grocery Shopping? Investigating the Effect of Arithmetic Complexity and Product Type on User Satisfaction

“…CA is defined as a state of deep involvement and is an individual's holistic experience when interacting with technology such as a website [38]. Cognitive absorption was proposed as one of the factors determining the continuance usage of electronic services [32,39]. Conceivably, CA is likely to be a driving force behind consumers' completion of an online transaction.…”
