Parents’ perceptions on the integration of Gamification to assess language learning in primary education. (2025). Revista De Investigación Educativa, Intervención Pedagógica Y Docencia, 3(1), 172-185. https://doi.org/10.71770/98btz010

Abstract

The article examines parents' perceptions of integrating gamification to assess language learning in primary education. The results reveal a largely positive perception, noting that gamification enhances students' motivation and engagement. However, the effectiveness in knowledge retention and active class participation shows variability. Parents also report increased involvement in their children's education, though they suggest improving communication about gamification implementation. Study limitations include a small sample size and subjective perceptions. Future research should expand the sample and consider various contextual variables.
