Abstract
This PRISMA-based systematic review examines the effectiveness of gamification tools in enhancing academic performance, student engagement, and motivation across educational levels. Drawing on 37 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2019 and 2024, this review explores the application of gamified strategies in primary, secondary, and higher education. Using the PICOS framework, the selected studies included interventions featuring digital platforms, mobile applications, and teacher-designed gamified activities compared against traditional instructional methods. Results indicate that gamification consistently improves learning outcomes, with notable gains in test performance, participation, and student satisfaction. Key gamification elements such as real-time feedback, point systems, and adaptive challenges were found to positively influence cognitive and affective domains of learning.
