Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

With this study, it is aimed to determine the opinions of university students about the gamified classroom model. In this context, gamification activities were used in the classroom process of the gamified classroom model. The study group of the research consisted of 62 university education faculty students who are continuing their education in voluntary universities. The research was carried out in the 2021–2022 fall academic year. In the study, university students were trained in a gamified classroom environment for 4 weeks in order to determine their views on the gamified classroom environment. In the research, semi-structured interview questions developed by the researcher were used to collect data. The questions used in the research were collected by university students with voice recorders. The analysis of the data was interpreted in detail with content analysis. As a result of the research, it has been seen that university students have a positive effect on both their motivation and their lessons with gamified education. Kahoot has been the most preferred application among gamified educational environments. It is concluded that gamification trainings increase students’ interest in the lesson, their success and cooperation.
