Abstract
Many gamification designs in education do effectively mobilize students to some extent. Yet, there is still very little research to account for the specific influence on each student. It is essential to determine whether the students can be engaged by gamification in terms of various psychological factors. In this paper, the game element point was chosen to design the experiment. The experiments were used to engage students to ask more questions in class. The results indicated that gamified designs were effective in engaging people who were bashful or distracted. In addition, students were engaged more easily in social circumstances through a comparison of individual and social interactions. This research provides fertile ground for further gamification designs in education.
