a) Example 1:
The review of the research on gamification in education

of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, most studies do
not feature an assessment on the effects of the gaming
environment on student learning (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, &
Angelova, 2015). In addition, early adopters of gamification
techniques in the classroom tended to be computer science
instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the
gaming environment is needed before seeing significant trends
in the use of gamification in instruction (Dicheva, Dichev,
Agre, & Angelova, 2015). Overall, the review demonstrated an
acute need for more research and for a supportive infrastructure
for gamification methods (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova,
2015).
b) Example 2:
The review of the research on gamification in education
conducted by Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015)

of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, they discovered
that most studies do not feature an assessment on the effects of
the gaming environment on student learning. In addition, early
adopters of gamification techniques in the classroom tended to

8. be computer science instructors, implying that a degree of
familiarity with the gaming environment is needed before seeing
significant trends in the use of gamification in instruction
(Dicheva et al., 2015). Overall, the review demonstrated an
acute need for more research and for a supportive infrastructure
for gamification methods.
