ROLE OF GAMIFICATION IN THE INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM WITH REFERENCE TO HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN BANGALORE CITY

Abstract

The Gamification in education is one of the teaching pedagogy in which the students will be learning the concepts through game design elements like points, performance graphs, Badges, Leader Boards, Avatars, Meaningful stories, teammates, activities, experiments and so on in the classroom setup. This technique will enhance the student engagement, foster motivation and performance among the students which results in the positive learning environment. Due to the lack of information about the technique of gamification and how does it works and how to incorporate it in the education system, we have conducted a research which shows that the students are really interested in bringing the gamification concepts in the educational system which will improvise the learning experience through pragmatic approach. This enable the students to apply the knowledge of concepts gained as per the industry requirements. The researcher has applied descriptive statistics to present the key aspects such as students involvement, confidence and better career approach and applied ranking method to identify the consideration of gamification as per the respondents. It is concluded that Gamification is certainly one of the technique which will bring the radical change in the educational system in India but the proper ICT enabled classes will facilitate the effective implementation of the techniques for efficacy in learning.
