Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the association between implementing gamification elements in a Learning Management System (LMS) and students' learning motivation in a German Grammar (Grammatik) course. Low learning motivation in repetitive and complex grammar instruction constitutes the primary background of this research. Methods – The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design involving 30 students enrolled in the German Language Education Study Program. Data were collected using a Motivation Scale based on the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) comprising 20 items on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis utilized the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and N-Gain score. Findings – A statistically significant improvement in learning motivation was observed following gamification implementation (Z = −4.782; p < 0.001; r = 0.87). The mean score increased from 63.13 (pretest) to 81.00 (posttest). Progress Bar (mean satisfaction = 4.63) and Points (4.52) received the highest student satisfaction ratings among the five implemented gamification elements. Research implications – Limitations include a small sample size (n = 30) from a single institution, a one-group design without a control group, and an intervention duration limited to one semester. Generalization of findings should be exercised with caution. Originality – This study represents one of the first empirical investigations of gamification within an institutional LMS in the context of German Grammar instruction in Indonesian higher education, developing an ARCS-based motivation instrument adapted for the Deutsch als Fremdsprache (DaF) context.
