This is based on student perception, stating that gamification features such as leaderboards, point systems, and fast feedback create a more fun and challenging learning atmosphere. Apart from that, the Quizizz feature is also considered capable of fostering social interaction and healthy competition, as well as motivating students to participate more actively and deeply in learning activities.
