This applied research aimed to investigate the impact of gamification-based instruction on learning motivation and student engagement in mathematics among fifth-grade elementary school students. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted. Two homogeneous all-girls classes (each with 24 students) from the city of Abadeh were selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method in the 2023-2024 academic year and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Over nine 45-minute sessions, the experimental group received fully gamified instruction (including scoring, progress badges, leaderboards, timed challenges, and non-digital group activities), while the control group experienced traditional teacher-centered instruction (direct explanation, algorithmic problem-solving, and limited questioning). The research instruments included localized versions of the Learning Motivation Questionnaire (Harter, 1981) and the Student Engagement Scale (Reeve et al., 2014). Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The findings revealed that gamification-based instruction significantly increased students' learning motivation and engagement levels (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral). This approach, by leveraging immediate feedback, diverse rewards, friendly competition, and group activities, enhanced feelings of competence, autonomy, and success, creating a dynamic and engaging classroom environment. Consequently, gamification is recommended as an effective and cost-efficient method for mathematics education in the elementary level, transforming learning from a passive and stressful state into an active and enjoyable experience.
