Description
Gamification in education is not just a trend—it’s a transformative teaching strategy. This course dives deep into the concept of applying game elements to educational contexts to enhance learner engagement, foster intrinsic motivation, and improve retention rates. Participants will explore the psychological foundations of gamification, including reward systems, dopamine triggers, and self-determination theory, all of which contribute to increased motivation and sustained attention. Through a blend of theory and hands-on projects, learners will analyze case studies from classrooms and online platforms, critically assessing the outcomes of gamified instruction. The course also introduces a variety of gamification tools and platforms—like Classcraft, Kahoot!, and Minecraft Education Edition—highlighting how to design quests, challenges, badges, leaderboards, and feedback loops tailored to various student age groups. Educators will walk away with a ready-to-implement plan for integrating gamification into their lesson plans or curriculum. From story-driven engagement to point systems that recognize achievements, this course provides everything educators need to turn classrooms into dynamic, interactive environments where students are eager to learn.
