Abstract

The steps of the gamification approach in education to improve learning engagement are discussed in this paper. There are a few steps on the gamification approach that have been applied by several researchers in this era. The gamification method was used in this study, which contained game elements and game design methods in a non-game context. Six gamification categories for teaching and learning are briefly discussed in this paper: (i) Courses without online support; (ii) MOOC; (iii) Blended/ Flipped Learning; (iv) E-Learning Site; (v) Gamified Platform/ System; and (vi) Mobile Application. The proposed gamification approach in education can also be a guideline for other researchers. Results shows that most of the respondents prefer to get rewards during the learning process follow by level, avatar and points.
