CALL week 3 - Students’ perceptions of the use of Kahoot! in English as a foreign language classroom learning context by Tim Huybers https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb en-us 2022-03-09 12:39:20 UTC 2026-01-01 09:45:54 UTC hello@padlet.com timhuybersth https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086000329 Statistics from the questionnaire survey showed that most students (77.5%) agreed that incorporating games into the class was helpful to their learning; a vast majority of the students (81.25%) expressed their affection for game-based classroom learning. Furthermore, the interview data suggested that the gamification pattern of Kahoot! was found to be the most satisfying aspect of Kahoot! as it can arouse interests, motivate learners, and facilitate effective learning. ]]> 2022-03-09 12:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086000329 timhuybersth https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086011612 "Furthermore, the interview analysis show that some students were intrinsically motivated by Kahoot! because this application added fun to the class and boost their interests."

Highscores and ranking = extrinsic motivation.]]> 2022-03-09 13:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086020536 timhuybersth https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086034988 Because students are more motivated their learning effectiveness increases.
The Best implications:
Retaining/checking knowledge -> At the end of a lesson.
Motivating learning -> To introduce a new subject.]]> 2022-03-09 13:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086034988 margokamminga https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086117068 The study was administered in a Sino-British English university in China.]]> 2022-03-09 14:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086117068 margokamminga https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086119048 A total of 80 year one students were selected as the research sample.

Additionally, 13 students were also invited to conduct an offline face-to-face semi-structured interview. ]]> 2022-03-09 14:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086126467 Computer assisted language learning niconauta https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086137097 From several theories that were used during the research of CALL was found a difference of language learning methods.

Eight dimensions that distinguish CALL from traditional language learning methods:

· learning efficiency

· learning effectiveness

· access

· convenience

· motivation

· teaching efficiency

· teaching effectiveness

· institutional efficiency

The online questionnaire contained a total of nineteen items:
Items 8–10 focused on the impact of Kahoot! on students’ classroom learning.
Items 11–14 were based on the gamification feature of Kahoot! to explore whether the game-based activity contributed to a competitive, fun and interactive learning atmosphere. ]]> 2022-03-09 14:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086138264 Game-based language learning niconauta https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086138587 One of the key areas in the CALL context is to use games to enhance language learning. Some of the technology advancements have also accelerated the development of game-based language learning (GBLL) where gamification tools are used to learning and teaching. The game-like techniques of Kahoot! include the quiz function which provides feedback with scores and rankings. ]]> 2022-03-09 14:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086138587 margokamminga https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086140144 Interview
The interview questions focused on understanding participants’ perceptions of using games, mobile learning apps, and Kahoot! in class as well as how students think these tools might influence their classroom learning. ]]> 2022-03-09 14:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086140144 Methodology margokamminga https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086141461 2022-03-09 14:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086141461 Motivation niconauta https://padlet.com/timhuybersth/xzqvtskmp0fn7qcb/wish/2086143365 Motivation is particularly interesting in the study regarding the use of Kahoot! in EFL learning. One study claimed that extrinsic motivation may amplify intrinsic motivation. Other studies might suggest that extrinsic motivation may negatively affect learning effectiveness. With that comes that intrinsic motivation would only have a positive impact to effective learning. Most researchers say this because they link GBLL to having fun which is in our nature. Other studies show that online games can foster an apparently higher level of intrinsic motivation in classroom learning activities. One other study that focussed on Kahoot! highlighted that games work by stimulating learners’ intrinsic motivation first and then encouraging engagement.
