abstract = {This paper presents a critical viewpoint on educational gamification, an understudied field filled with hyperbole and hollow sales pitches, as well as solid research. By reviewing existing research in the context of Landers’ theory of gamified learning, it discusses three underlying, important elements that need to be taken into account: engagement, challenge, and reflection, as well as the interconnections between them. As a result, it suggests ways for more efficient deployment of gamification for educational purposes.},
