The Impact of Gamification on Education and its Enhancement through Artificial Intelligence
Keywords:
gamification, games, AI, learning, teaching, motivation, applicationAbstract
Gamification improves motivation and performance in educational settings, although it presents limitations in personalization, adaptability, and accessibility. This study analyzes its application in secondary and vocational education and examines the potential of artificial intelligence to optimize these processes. A literature review of academic databases was conducted to identify trends, gaps, and best practices in their integration. As a result, a gamified ecosystem based on digital tools is proposed, enabling adaptive learning, personalized feedback, and process automation. The findings suggest that combining gamification and artificial intelligence enhances active learning, inclusion, and personalized education, although technical and organizational challenges remain.
