paragraph:
Question 4 options:
a)
Example
1:
The
review of the research on gamification in education conducted by Dicheva,
Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015) showed that more direct, empirical
research on the effectiveness 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).
