• Gamification to work on the numbers in a mathematics course: Study of emotions and performance in higher education (2026) · doi

  While the paper examines gamification in higher education mathematics, there is no analysis of individual differences in responsiveness to gamification—specifically whether students with different baseline mathematics self-efficacy levels, anxiety profiles, or prior achievement motivations show differential emotional and performance responses to escape room activities. Moderation analyses with these student characteristics are missing.
