Gamification Increases Learner Engagement & Knowledge Retention
Gamification elements are utilized to increase learner retention and to demonstrate their ability to use the skills they have learned within the course.
A meta-analysis of 49 studies identified that gamified training tasks are more motivating and engaging for learners.
A second meta-analysis of 38 studies identified statistically significant positive effects of gamification of an increase on cognitive measures, motivational attitude, and after training behavioral learning outcomes.
The gamified training content were statistically indicated to be successfully transferred to non-game (real world) contexts after the training was completed.
