The document discusses gamification as a solution to increase engagement in education for teenagers, highlighting the declining literacy rates and widening gaps between students. It proposes several strategies, including collaboration, rewards, progression systems, and interactive courses to make learning more enjoyable and effective. The aim is to cater to different student types, such as achievers and socializers, by incorporating game mechanics into the educational process.

- 3. Illiteracy is going up by +5% in France in 2009
- 4. Gap between good and bad students is increasing The share of the weakest students thus increased from 26% in reading and 37% in mathematics between 2000 and 2009.

- 5. Problem : « Learning is not fun enough! » Let’s use some game mechanics to make learning more fun at school. Let’s focus on 2 types of audience : achiever and socializer Achievers are students who want to finish a lesson, read a book to the end, complete a course or fullfill a quiz or survey. They want to finish what they have started and feel they have accomplished something Socializers are students who want to share their learnings with others. They like to collaborate, speak with other students and they feel they are part of a community
- 6. Solution 1 : Collaboration/Team work Establish groups of 2 to 5 people and give them a problem to solve or something to learn together Evaluate them as a group Make them evaluate each other within the group
- 7. Solution 2 : Rewards Multiple rewards possible, here are some few examples : Each day, teacher gives a special reward for the student or group of students who did his best Each time a student ask a relevant question, he gets some points Each time a student helps someone to understant, he gets some points At the end of every day, a quiz that sums up the learnings of the day is set up. Students get some points depending of their score Teacher gives real badges for the most « involved » student, « more helper », « loudest », « socializer », « critical »... Etc. At the end of each quarter or month, if the overall score of the class is above a certain limit, the entire class gets a free afternoon to go to see a movie or do something enjoyable
- 8. Solution 3 : Progression system Introduce a progression system like a board of levels : Each student begins at level 0 or white belt They earn points along the courses by learning, collaborating, helping, achieving some stuff or completing some quiz They get new levels or belt when they reach a certain amount of points so they feel to progress all along the year
- 9. Solution 4 : Interactive courses Make students and teacher interact together during courses Add some informatic systems or devices to make them share some ideas, create some new things : drawings, completing a math equation, solving some puzzles, pointing some places around the globe... Etc Uses some tablets, netbooks or even smartphones to interact Uses some homemade softwares or apps to play or share experiences
