Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the stages involved in gamifying education in order to increase student involvement. Many investigators have used a few steps from the gamification technique in our day and age. The instructors are the only ones who can vary the procedures. Gamification is becoming a hot topic in education these days. Gamification has been used in a variety of ways to involve students in the learning process, but it is not without criticism. Since lessons are being taught online, learning has gotten more difficult during the past year. To keep students interested, it has been vital to create teaching practices that go hand in hand with the usage of new technology. The goal of the current study is to better understand how instructional design and gamification work together to improve e-learning's usability in higher education programming.
Method: The study also looks at instructional design's mediation function. Academicians completed a self-structured questionnaire that and the data was gathered and analysed using the technique of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).
Results: The study's findings demonstrated that elements, game dynamics, motivation, and mechanics of games all strongly predict gamification as a multidimensional entity. Additionally, there is a connection between gamification and e-learning usability that is partially mediated by instructional design. According to this study, gamification can improve the e-learning environment for participants.
Conclusion: Therefore, to present a novel paradigm of utilising gamification components to engage online students, suggestions for integrating gamification environments are also included. This study offers an instrument to quantify the outcomes and addresses the need for planning methods to help increase student motivation in online learning environments.
