Abstract

“The increasing use of gamification in educational institutions may be attributed to its efficacy in enhancing learning. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of online gamified learning among undergraduate medical students. The study developed a hypothetic model to investigate the impact of game characteristics, learning climate, and learners' self-efficacy on medical students' motivation, engagement, and improved learning process. Structural equation modeling (SEM) examined the causal relationships between the observed and latent variables. This study showed that game characteristics positively influence learners' learning engagement and intrinsic motivation. However, the learning environment and self-efficacy did not influence the perceived satisfaction of users. The findings generated in this study indicate those game elements can positively influence students' performance and learning achievement through motivation and engagement.”
