Overview

Systematic literature review finds trends and challenges in adaptive learning for young children, suggesting improvements in education design.

Key Points

This review aims to explore the effectiveness and methodologies of adaptive gamification and game-based learning in preschool and early primary education.
Conducted a systematic literature review of 19 empirical studies published from 2016 to 2026, based on the PRISMA model.
Identified a total of 5069 records across nine electronic databases.
Analyzed methodological approaches, assessment tools, learning outcomes, and theoretical frameworks used in the studies.
Found that most studies focused on mathematics and utilized researcher-developed platforms.
Reported mixed educational outcomes, with positive effects noted mainly when adaptive systems accommodated children’s pace and prior knowledge.
Highlighted that adaptive content was common, but game elements largely remained unchanged.
