A scientific seminar titled “Gamification in Physics Lessons: Modern Methods for Increasing Student Motivation” was held at Kh. Dosmukhamedov Atyrau University, organized by the Departments of Physics and Technical Disciplines and Software Engineering.
The main goal of the event was to increase students’ learning motivation through the use of gamification elements in teaching physics and to promote modern pedagogical technologies.
During the seminar, the theoretical foundations of gamification, its role in increasing student engagement, and its impact on learning outcomes were thoroughly discussed. Effective ways of using digital platforms and game-based technologies were also presented.
The seminar moderator, PhD, Associate Professor Saltanat Sharmukhanbet, introduced participants to the practical applications of gamification. Professor Bakytgul Abykanova discussed the pedagogical foundations of gamification in physics teaching, while Senior Lecturer Mairagul Rakhmetova presented on the use of game technologies to enhance student motivation. Doctoral student Zhadyra Salykbaeva shared practical case studies.
The event also included an exchange of ideas among participants and discussions on актуальные issues in education. Experts emphasized that implementing gamification methods in the learning process enhances students’ cognitive activity and contributes to deeper understanding of the subject.
