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

The power of gamification can increase student focus and perseverance in learning. By playing games and allowing failures, namely repeated failures, students can learn from it. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of gamification in teaching vocabulary by creating word games using the free platform Proprof.com and incorporating them into lessons. The experiment was carried out in 2 groups (Control and Experimental) of Pre-Intermediate students by two teachers. The first control group consisted of 11 students and the second experimental group consisted of 12 students a total of 23 participants. Research results have shown that the introduction of online games for teaching vocabulary in the classroom leads to greater memorization of new words than using traditional teaching methods alone.
