Call, Tristan; Fox, Erik; Sprint, Gina – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: Research has shown that computer science (CS) students who start programming assignments (PAs) early generally receive higher grades. This article presents and evaluates a gamification approach that utilizes software engineering tools to motivate CS students to start and finish PAs earlier. Background: CS can be difficult to learn…

Rodrigues, Luiz; Pereira, Filipe D.; Toda, Armando M.; Palomino, Paula T.; Pessoa, Marcela; Carvalho, Leandro Silva Galvão; Fernandes, David; Oliveira, Elaine H. T.; Cristea, Alexandra I.; Isotani, Seiji – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2022
There are many claims that gamification (i.e., using game elements outside games) impact decreases over time (i.e., the novelty effect). Most studies analyzing this effect focused on extrinsic game elements, while fictional and collaborative competition have been recently recommended. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, no long-term…
