The use of current and
emerging tools in education
is becoming a blistering topic
among educators and
educational institutions.
Gaming in education may be
viewed as an interference to
learning but its role in
education is to increase
students' motivation and
engagement, to enhance
visual skills, to improve
students' interaction and
collaboration abilities with
their peers and to enable
them to apply gaming values
in a real-world situation.

The present study results
indicate that gamification in

academic results [15,59], and
games are inherently
entertaining and enjoyable
for students.

The findings of the current
study suggest that
gamification in science
instruction can have a

intrinsically engaging for
students.
The integration of knowledge

according to many experts, to

effectiveness of educational
