The further exciting and appealing educational setting is the more significant learners' participation in the learning challenge. A traditional setting was not appealing too much, creating a dull environment that has no learning motivation. Gamification is often used as an instrument for motivating learners and increasing their commitment. A study analyzes several previous research types in this field to assess gamification's effect on higher education students in a computer science course. The results conclude that gamification enhances the interest and encouragement of the learners. Also, it improves computer science curriculum training and knowledge of a complicated topic, providing learners with optional barriers. While they are beneficial, pedagogical games may have drawbacks that impact either emotionally and physically learners. The most popular gamification elements used during computer science classes were badges, leaderboards, score, level, and feedback. They were the most commonly known feature of the game in learning computer science. Implementing components of gamification in education is a resource that can motivate learners in computer science education. Gamification can give positive outcomes for student's achievement and the teaching and learning process framework, which teachers increasingly accept. Further research is required to determine if this transforms into an effect on finished performance and governs particular group impacts. Students' academic achievement and results in the computer science curriculum must develop a broader amount of knowledge on the utility through gamification. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":274194,"journal":{"name":"Near East University Online Journal of Education","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133648185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To adequately study this topic, a qualitative method was used with semi-structured interview questions as the data-gathering technique. The study's participants were 34 administrators who worked during the Spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. These individuals were chosen at random from the several schools that volunteered to take part in this study. \"Zoom and Google Meet\" applications were used to conduct the interviews with the participants. This study included more females than males, with the bulk of participants coming from public schools. According to the findings, the majority of students took part in visual tracking Slide Share presentations. Finally, the data revealed certain benefits of using technology, such as quick learning and access to materials, as well as some drawbacks. Regarding the drawbacks, most participants called for an increase in the standard of student assessment.

Due to the importance of educational institutions, organizational commitment of employees in educational institutions is also important. Detection and comparison of organizational commitment before and during the pandemic will be an important source of data in this challenging period. \u0000The aim of the research is to evaluate the situation of providing and developing organizational commitment of administrators and teachers in educational organizations before and during the pandemic in public primary schools in the 2020-2021 education period. In line with the research objectives, open-ended questions were asked to 20 teachers and 20 administrators, and the data of the research were obtained. \u0000After the analysis of the research data, the following conclusions were reached: When the participants were mentioned about organizational commitment, it was concluded that the teachers and administrators thought of the work commitment (loyalty). \u0000The results show that before the pandemic, administrators organized dining events according to the teachers’ and the administrators' views in order to ensure organisational commitment. The teachers defend that an equal and fair environment should be reached when developing organisational commitment while the administrators think the environment should be motivating. In order to provide, develop and maintain the organisational commitment, teachers believe that it is important to be equal and fair and the administrators believe that constructive criticism should be present. \u0000It has been concluded that during the pandemic, to ensure organisational commitment, the administrators arrange online meetings according to the teachers’ and the administrators’ opinion.  While teachers mention the need to be in close dialogue (continuous dialogue) to develop organizational commitment, administrators say that there should be an effective communication environment. Also, according to the teachers, in providing, developing and maintaining organizational commitment, it is necessary to be motivating, it is achieved through good (effective) communication according to the views of the administrators. \u0000Keywords: Manager1, Pandemic(Covid-19)2, Education3, Organizational Commitment4","PeriodicalId":274194,"journal":{"name":"Near East University Online Journal of Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125656022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used mixed methods research and the opinions of students, employees working in this field, teaching staff and various administrators were collected via questionnaire, observation forms and face to face interviews. Quantitatively the differences between the two classes were evaluated according to common criteria and the correlative technique was used.
