  3. Introduction i • Games as a foundationforlearning • Educationalsetting • Constructivistlearningenvironment (Wu et al., 2012)) • Reinforcemultipleintelligences (Gardner, 2006) • Logicalreasoning, communication, visual stimulation, kinesthetics

  4. Introductionii • What is ‘gamification’? • 1. Gamification is the use of game design elements in non-game contexts (Deterding, Dixon, Khaled, & Nacke, 2011) • 2. Gamification is the process of game-thinking and game mechanics to engage users and solve problems (Zichermann & Cunningham, 2011) • From gamestogamifying the educationalexperience • Digital natives(Prensky, 2001) • ‘Gamification’ – coinedby Nick Pelling in 2003 (Jacubowski, 2014; Pelling, 2011)

  5. Introduction III • How can gamingtechniqueshelpmotivatestudents? • Self-determinationTheory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) • Intrinsicmotivation • Pleasure of mastering a new topic • Relate to prior knowledge and widentheirexpertise in the area • Autonomy and competence (self-efficacy) • Extrinsicmotivation • Performance goals / grades • May lead to the acquisition of new knowledge • What are the essentialrequisitesthatshouldbeadheredto in the application of gamingtechniques in the classroom? • Haveclearobjectives • Content is important • Provide the studentwith a challenge - Krashen’s i +1, input hypothesis (Krashen, 1985). • Helpidentify the ability/gaps in a student’sknowledge

  6. However .. • Mixedreportsregarding the motivationalcapacity of suchtechniques (Hainey et al., 2013) • Lack of publishedresearchonempiricalstudies (Hamari et al., 2014)

  7. Researchquestions • Does the use of gamificationstrategies, such as on-line quizzes, enhance the student’soveralllearningexperience? • Does the use of suchtechniqueshaveany positive results in the student’slearningprocess?

  8. Researchproject • Coordinated project - UIB-UPF (FFI2013-48640-C2-2-P) Language acquisition in the multilingual and multicultural classroom: Enhancing international experiences at home and abroad for all learner profiles (IntClass) • 3 learning contexts: • Formal instruction - with an international ethos (FI) • Study abroad – including Erasmus and Erasmus + programmes (SA) • Integrated content and language approach learning programmes (CLIL) Five dimensions of learner/teacher attributes will be analysed: 1. Languages; 2. Aptitude; 3.Beliefs; 4. Affect; 5. Culture; and 6. Identity (LABACI)

  9. Sub-project • 2 secondary schools – Balearic Islands (Andratx & Bendinat) • Application of a transcultural approach to EFL via specific literary texts and the incorporation of virtual tools such as blogging and on-line quizzes through content- and task-based units of work. AccionMagistral 2015 Empatía a traves de la literatura
