Evaluation of awarding badges on students’ engagement in Gamified e-learning systems

This paper examines the role of gamification in enhancing engagement, motivation, and collaboration in educational settings. While game elements are widely used, their structural and contextual implementation remains inconsistent. Through an online gamified study, the research identifies key factors influencing gamification success and failure. Findings indicate that while badges and time spent increase engagement, incorporating feedback, social interaction, and interactive guidance are essential for improved learning outcomes. The study highlights the need for timely feedback, personalized support, and collaboration to maximize gamification’s effectiveness in learner-centered environments.
