- 1. Emerging Trends inEducational Software: Gamification and Simulation Software (Enhancing Learning Through Engagement and Experience) Prepared by: Noraisah U. Radaza PhD-EdMgt2
- 2. 🧠 Introduction In today’sdigital classrooms, educational software has taken center stage in transforming how students learn and interact. Two key trends: gamification and simulation are reshaping instruction by increasing motivation, engagement, and hands-on experience.
- 3. ️ 🏛️ Theoretical Framework Constructivist LearningTheory (Piaget, 1950s; Vygotsky, 1978) ∙ Learners actively construct knowledge through experiences. ∙ Gamification and simulation provide interactive, contextual, and student-centered learning. ∙ Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) supports scaffolded learning through virtual tasks. Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 1985) ∙ Focuses on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. ∙ Gamified systems trigger intrinsic motivation by allowing choice, mastery, and collaboration.
- 4. 🎮What is Gamification? Gamificationis the integration of game mechanics (e.g., points, levels, badges) into educational activities to motivate learners, promote engagement, and enhance learning outcomes. Core Elements: ∙ Rewards (badges, stars) ∙ Levels or stages ∙ Leaderboards ∙ Challenges and missions ∙ Progress tracking
- 5. RESEARCH RELATED Duterte (2024) ●Participants: 133 undergraduate students from three private universities in Manila ● Gamification elements: Points, badges, and leaderboards integrated into course activities ● Findings: ○ Significant improvements in academic performance and motivation ○ Increased engagement, enjoyment, and willingness to participate in learning tasks ○ Encouraged healthy competition and collaboration among students ● Citation: Duterte, J. P. (2024). The impact of educational gamification on student learning outcomes. International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS).
- 6. RESEARCH RELATED Moldez etal. (2024) ● Context: University of the Philippines Open University MOOCs ● Gamification elements: Badges, leaderboards, and progress bars ● Findings: ○ Higher learner motivation, participation, and course completion rates ○ Students reported greater satisfaction with the online learning environment ○ Promoted self-directed learning and sustained engagement, especially in asynchronous settings ● Citation: Moldez, C., Crisanto, M. A., Cerdeña, M. G. R., Maranan, D. S., & Figueroa, R. (2024). Innovation in education: Developing and assessing gamification in MOOCs. arXiv:2409.03309.
