Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to explore the use of gamification in adult education. Gamification refers to the integration of game elements and mechanics into non-game contexts to enhance engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. In recent years, gamification has gained ... ... ... attention as a promising approach to make learning more enjoyable and effective for adult learners.

The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. A sample of adult learners participating in gamified educational programs will be selected, and their experiences, perceptions, and learning outcomes will be assessed. Additionally, interviews will be conducted with educators and program developers to gather insights into the design and implementation of gamified adult education programs.

The research will focus on various aspects of gamification in adult education, including the impact on motivation, engagement, knowledge acquisition, and skill development. The findings will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of gamification as a pedagogical approach in adult education and inform the design and implementation of future gamified learning experiences.

The outcomes of this research will have implications for educators, instructional designers, and policymakers in leveraging gamification to enhance adult learning experiences. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the advancement of innovative and engaging approaches in adult education that promote effective learning and skill development.
