Short Description

This study investigates the effects of gamified project-based learning strategies on students’ learning motivation in rural China based on a two-week gamified PBL program designed by the authors, which will be attended by about 30 students. Using a mixed methods approach, this study administers academic pretest and posttest to examine students’ learning outcomes, motivation questionnaires to examine how motivation experience changes, and qualitative observations and semi-structured interviews to explore other factors that influence motivational improvements.
