Gamification Project in School
Gamification was always a very special field of interest for me. That's why I decided to do a gamification-project beside my study.
I believe Gamification can be used to refine many things. There are many areas out there which could bear some more fun, focus and design.
Project
In my project I wanted to focus on school and education. That's why I went back to school for two weeks and watched the interaction between teachers and pupils, mainly focusing on the feedback and reward system between them.
Which feedback and rewards are given from the teacher to the students?
And what do the students return in feedback and rewards?
I have done this project with the help of the teachers at the Realschule Plus in Wissen, Germany, who made it possible to join their lessons.
Over two weeks I had been in the lessons with 8 different teachers and over 150 different students in class level from 7 to 10.
Actually I underestimated the amount of information and material I was getting.
Between study, game creation and the rare thing we call private life, there was not enough time for finishing the analysis of the material yet.
But I'm working on it and you can download it here soon.
