Abstract
In education, keeping students engaged has being a challenge in learning. Meanwhile, one of the ideas introduced by educationists in ensuring better student engagement in learning is flipped learning approach so as to enable students to carefully read their learning materials prior to the conventional class. The researchers proposed a gamified flipped learning to improve student’s performance in the Federal Polytechnic Mubi. In achieving the objective, the study examined some of the factors in flipped and gamification that have influence on students’ performance. A well-structured questionnaire was designed and used to elicit data. One Hundred and Fifty (150) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to some selected HND students from five different departments of the school to get their responses on how gamified flipped learning has impacted on their performance. The outcome of the investigation showed that reward, competition, collaboration, satisfaction and confidence have great influence on student’s performance in flipped classroom. This was recommended for use in schools by the researchers.
