After studying motivation theory and self determination theory, I became interested in creating gamified learning environments. For the past three years I have been piloting a gamified approach to learning 7th grade history.
For the past several years I have been using an iterative research design to pilot and test out a new gamified approach in my 7th grade history class. I aim to improve assessment by using badges to create learning pathways. My next phase involves scaling up the design and collecting feedback through a surveys.
