Abstract EN

The current research aimed at designing a gamification-based e-learning environment which is one of the educational technology field key trends, and to investigate its effect on developing female kindergarten freshmen's skills of technology integration into the kindergarten children's educational activities.

A list of standards for designing the gamification-based learning environment was devised.

Additionally, a list of the technological skills which were required by kindergarten students was stated.

A sample of (115) female freshmen was randomly selected from the Kindergarten Department at the Faculty of Education, Damanhur University in the academic year 2016/2017.

The sample was assigned into two groups: an experimental group (n: 56) and a control one (n: 59).

The research experiment was, then, implemented, and data was collected by applying a scale to measure students' skills of technology integration into education.

T-test was used for statistically processing data and extracting results.

Results indicated a statistically significant difference at a level of significance (> 0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control one in the skills of technology integration into the kindergarten children's educational activities in favor of the experimental group.

This research recommended that educational designers should focus on designing educational situations based on gamification to increase students' internal and external motivation.

Besides, the research suggested investigating the effectiveness of gamification-based e-learning environment in developing upper school teachers' skills of technology integration into education.
