| Popis: | 100 This paper reports the results of a study which aimed to investigate how gamified learning approach influence science learning achievement and motivation through a context-aware mobile learning environment and to explain effects on motivation and student learning outcome. A mobile learning environment has been developed based on this approach. A series of gamified learning activities based on Mobile Insect Learning System (MILS) was developed and implemented in an elementary school science curriculum to improve student motivation and help students to actively engage in learning activities. A quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the effectiveness of gamification approach by combining game elements with the use of MILS in a real-world scenario. The response to questionnaire indicate that students valued the outdoor learning activities made possible by use of the smartphone and its functions. Pre- and post-test results demonstrated that incorporating mobile and gamification technologies into botanical learning process could achieve a better learning performance and motivation than using non-gamified mobile learning and traditional instruction. They further revealed a positive relationship between learning achievement and motivation. |
