- Abstract
More and more teachers are applying game elements to the classroom, as studies show that gamification can increase student engagement. Gamification has become a popular way to enrich the classroom, and many people have made promising predictions about its penetration. However, integrating games into an educational environment remains a daunting task. It is estimated that many gamification efforts will fail due to a lack of understanding of the design and implementation of gamification for teachers. They also have difficulty in establishing learning principles, scheduling classroom games, and engaging students. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the mechanism of gamification from the perspectives of learning motivation and academic performance of young students. This article will also provide suggestions for the design of a successful classroom game. The results suggest that, first, virtualization does increase student engagement to a certain extent. Second, gamification can improve students’ satisfaction and happiness in learning and dramatically increases the engagement of introverted students. This paper also provides a detailed overview of the impact of gamification on non-native English learners with different personalities at the primary school level and provide comprehensive insights into the development and design of gamification teaching.
