Background of the Study
Student engagement is a critical factor in the success of educational programs. Engaged students are more likely to be motivated, participate in class, and achieve higher academic outcomes. In secondary schools in Yola North Local Government Area, Adamawa State, student engagement has been identified as a challenge, with many students exhibiting low motivation and interest in traditional learning methods. This lack of engagement can lead to poor academic performance and increased dropout rates.
Gamification, the application of game elements and principles in non-game contexts, has emerged as a potential solution to increase student engagement. By incorporating elements such as rewards, levels, challenges, and competition, gamification can make learning more interactive and enjoyable. Research has shown that gamification can improve students' motivation, increase participation, and enhance learning outcomes. In the context of secondary schools in Yola North, gamification could provide a much-needed boost to student engagement by turning routine learning activities into fun and rewarding experiences.
