- Abstract
-
Gamification — the integration of game design elements into non-game educational settings — has emerged as one of the most effective pedagogical innovations in higher education. This research investigates how gamified learning environments influence student motivation, engagement, and performance in online classrooms. Using a mixed-method approach across three European universities, the study evaluates quantitative performance metrics and qualitative student feedback on gamified tools such as Kahoot, Duolingo, and Moodle Game-based Learning Modules. The findings demonstrate a statistically significant increase in student participation and knowledge retention, suggesting gamification as a sustainable approach for digital pedagogy in higher learning.
