Revealing the theoretical basis of gamification: A systematic review and analysis of theory in research on gamification, serious games and game-based learning
作者：
Highlights：
• We performed a systematic meta-review of theoretical foundations in gamification, serious games and GBL research.
• We identified 118 theories in the areas of motivation and affect, behavior, and learning used to explain gamification.
• Self-determination theory, flow theory, experiential learning theory and constructivist learning theory are most popular.
• The theories can be connected and interrelated in a theoretical landscape.
• We derived ten theoretical principles that help explain how gamification works.
