Overview

Randomized trial shows improved vocabulary achievement in students, suggesting benefits of gamified learning environments.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamification-based adaptive learning environment on English vocabulary acquisition.
  • Mixed-methods explanatory sequential design employed.
  • Quasi-experimental pretest–post-test design used in the quantitative phase with 44 ninth-grade students.
  • Data collected through an AI-supported vocabulary achievement test and a researcher-developed evaluation questionnaire.
  • Gamification-based adaptive learning significantly improved vocabulary achievement (p<0.01).
  • Increased learning motivation was observed in the experimental group (mean difference = 15).
  • Classroom engagement heightened in the experimental group compared to the control group.
