Research gap analysis derived from 2 psychology papers in our local library.
The gap
The study examines gamification and escape room strategies in mathematics courses, but does not systematically compare emotional responses (anxiety, frustration, engagement) across different cognitive demand levels of mathematical problems. Research is needed to measure how achievement emotions vary when students encounter problems at different complexity levels within gamified mathematics learning environments.; While the paper mentions that pedagogical approaches, collaborative learning,...
