Background of the study
The evolution of education has brought about diverse approaches to teaching and learning. Traditional learning methods, which rely heavily on textbooks, lectures, and direct teacher-student interaction, have been the dominant mode of instruction in secondary schools. However, with the increasing adoption of technology in education, gamified learning approaches have gained popularity. Gamification involves integrating game mechanics and principles into educational activities to enhance student engagement and motivation (Deterding et al., 2024). This method leverages the natural appeal of games, such as rewards, challenges, and competition, to foster deeper learning experiences.
In Katsina Local Government Area, secondary schools are exploring how gamified learning approaches can complement or even outperform traditional methods in improving student engagement, learning outcomes, and retention. This study will compare the effectiveness of gamified learning against traditional learning approaches in secondary schools, examining factors such as student engagement, academic performance, and motivation.
Statement of the problem
Traditional teaching methods have been effective in delivering content to students, but with the rise of digital technologies, engagement levels have become a growing concern. Gamified learning approaches have the potential to address this issue, but many schools in Katsina Local Government Area still primarily rely on traditional methods. This study aims to evaluate the impact of gamified learning on student engagement and academic performance, comparing it with traditional teaching approaches.
