Abstract

This quasi-experimental research investigated whether gamification improves history learning in 4th-year primary school children. An experimental group used a gamified project based on historical thinking, while a control group followed traditional methods. Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group compared to the control group on a mixed-performance test, suggesting gamification's potential for enhancing primary-level history education.
