TLDR
This research tries to solve the problem by apply gamification elements in programming language course as a new architecture of Gamification application to increase the effectiveness of learning and enhance the understanding of students.Abstract:
Students sometimes find it hard to learn new programming languages. They often confront unfamiliar programming terms and are required to visualize the processes that happen in the computer memory. Weak students find this a burden and end up memorizing the processes without understanding them and their working. This situation invariably leads students to get low grades in their programming subjects. Some researchers suggested that an enjoyable approach must be adopted in learning difficult subjects. Studies have shown that applying gamification elements in websites engages users. "Gamification" refers to the use of game elements in a non-game context to increase engagement between humans and computers. This research try to solve the problem by apply gamification elements in programming language course as a new architecture of Gamification application to increase the effectiveness of learning and enhance the understanding of students'.read more

From game design elements to gamefulness: defining "gamification"
TL;DR: A definition of "gamification" is proposed as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts and it is suggested that "gamified" applications provide insight into novel, gameful phenomena complementary to playful phenomena.

Assessing the effects of gamification in the classroom
Michael D. Hanus,Jesse Fox +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that students in the gamified course showed less motivation, satisfaction, and empowerment over time than those in the non-gamified class, and some care should be taken when applying certain gamification mechanics to educational settings.
