Abstract
Gamification applies game elements to game or non-game settings, utilizing rewards, points, and challenges to motivate and engage people in achieving objectives. An increasing number of studies are exploring how Gamification can enhance student learning outcomes in education, but there is still a significant gap in understanding how gamification influences student motivation and engagement, leaving the literature inconclusive. In this paper, I aim to conduct a systematic literature review on Gamification in Education and propose a framework for designing gamified learning experiences through the strategic selection of game attributes, aligned with the desired student experience and engagement outcome. This framework will enable teachers to develop gamified lessons that can achieve desired learning outcomes and behaviours in the context of Singapore's education system.
