Overview Study on Using Gamification in Education for Personality Development

Abstract

Gamification in the educational process has attracted the attention of educators and policymakers over the past three decades because it can increase student motivation and engagement in various academic tasks. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations have a special effect on the cognitive abilities of students in learning outcomes and improve overall academic performance. Motivation, which is an important means of achieving learning goals, motivates students according to their interests. Since students have different perceptions of information, they can choose their activities based on their learning preferences. This article provides an overview study on using gamification in education for personality development. According to the research topic, ten gamified learning cases are analysed and the relevance of digital gamification in education is identified. This study focuses on gamification's influence on personal development through learning, gamification in learning and business, the role of gamification in education and the role of the English language in business by implementing gamification. As a result, the authors highlight the role of English in business and the use of gamification in language teaching as a foreign language. In addition, the authors identify research gaps and suggest potential future research directions in this area.
