Adult Education Teacher’s Perception Of Gamification Implemented In Distance Education

• This paper discusses perceptions of educational gamification and its potential opportunities for reducing student dropout and teacher workload. Interviews of nine teachers and their technology acceptance were studied in conjunction with the implementation of a gamified online system during 2019, fully designed for distance education. Results indicate perceptions of reduced workload, prevention of students from handing in late, and facilitating activity in courses. However, perceptions of clear suspicion towards Educational Gamification also related acceptance as insufficient for behavioural intent until very conclusive result demonstrations of behavioural performance are available to the teachers. Implications for lifelong learning and ethical concerns are briefly discussed.
