An Investigation into the use of a Gamifled Revision Solution for Primary School Mathematics and its Experimental Comparison to Traditional Revision Methods

摘要

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a gamified revision application based on a comprehensive literature review and in-depth analysis of previous case studies in the field of educational games. An experiment was devised to quantitatively compare the application with traditional paper-based revision methods, and an extensive set of results were collected and evaluated. It was concluded that not only can the use of gamified solutions provide superior motivation and engagement when used in an educational setting, but that they have the potential to provide through immediate feedback a system that encourages learning on a question-by-question basis, an aspect which cannot be rivalled by traditional techniques.
