Abstract

This study sought to examine the existing research on gamification to see whether or not there was the potential for application in the higher education co-curricular environment. This study also aimed to explore the current best practices of gamification in order to define a consistent structure to create a gamified initiative. This meta-synthesis concluded that, due to the lack of consistent gamification structures and the large range of game mechanics and dynamics being utilized in various studies, it is difficult to determine whether gamification has been successful or not in the current educational climates where it has been tested. Through the creation of a recommended structure of gamification to be applied in a volunteer co-curricular environment, future testing can be applied to validate approaches.

游戏化在高等教育课程环境中的应用

本研究旨在检视现有关于游戏化的研究，以了解游戏化在高等教育课程环境中是否有应用的潜力。本研究还旨在探索当前游戏化的最佳实践，以定义一致的结构来创建游戏化计划。这一综合研究得出的结论是，由于缺乏一致的游戏化结构，以及各种研究中使用的大量游戏机制和动态，很难确定游戏化在当前的教育环境中是否成功。通过创建一个推荐的游戏化结构，应用于志愿者的课外环境，未来的测试可以应用于验证方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
