However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding how should be used effectively enhance the experiences students. The purpose this review was synthesize research findings on use and propose an evidence‐informed framework. This framework will guide teachers developing gamified environments that are effective improving students' learning. In regard, 54 empirical studies (out 907 peer‐reviewed articles), dating 2008 through 2021, were reviewed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. systematically categorized into four essential dimensions inspired by Biggs' 3P teaching model, ie, ‘individual factors’, ‘environmental ‘learning process’ outcome’. yielded rich concerning each dimension, providing with overview educational purposes. Meanwhile, indicated regarding constructively aligned courses, which different adopted implemented evaluated coherently. paper concludes presenting several suggestions directions future address shortcoming. Practitioner notes What already known about topic Gamification demonstrated potential outcomes education. There instances where suggest neutral or negative effects outcomes. effectiveness adds study highlights enhancing cognitive, affective behavioural education, mainly increasing motivation, engagement competitiveness. provides proposes can serve as blueprint Implications practice and/or policy presents up‐to‐date empirically rooted calls makes evidence‐based recommendations integration

Introduction: the use of game elements and design techniques in content unrelated to same is known as gamification. It likely that gamified environments generate a fruitful scenario evoke complex processes within higher nervous activity thus develop cognitive skills. This facilitates its application for educational purposes. The objective was characterize resources development Method: total 27 articles Spanish English were reviewed, from Pubmed, Scielo Scopus; using keywords: gamification, game, cognition, being more than 50% last five years.Result: gamification improves services which it applied through playful experiences, can positively influence aspects student experience such level interest, intellectual intensity intrinsic motivation, by providing opportunities autonomy, relationship competition. There strong need further exploration experimentation provide meets user preferences, tailored individual characteristics. Conclusions: Gamified facilitate learning like game. Through seems increase commitment, active interaction, critical thinking, motivation. effectiveness largely depends on different features how they are implemented

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide necessitates that medical undergraduates acquire a deep understanding the disease to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management. Traditional teaching methods, while foundational, often lack interactive elements enhance student engagement knowledge retention. This study aimed evaluate effectiveness novel educational board game, "Diabe-teach," in enhancing retention among students compared with conventional self-study methods. A randomized controlled design involving 56 preclinical at Dubai Medical College for Girls was used. participants were randomly assigned either game-based learning group or control group, both groups receiving identical instructional materials on diabetes. Knowledge assessed via pre- post-test scores, whereas perceptions measured feedback survey. results indicated showed significant improvement scores (p < .001), demonstrated notably greater frequency correct responses tendency recognize gaps, as evidenced by increased "I do not know" incorrect guesses group. Feedback from highlighted enhanced confidence, improved communication skills, preference gamified approach over traditional findings suggest "Diabe-teach" game is an tool complex concepts, fostering critical self-assessment students. These contribute growing body literature learning, supporting its potential valuable adjunct education Further research could explore application this across other disciplines.
