المستخلص

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using gamification to enhance preparatory schoolers' grammar learning. It adopted the pre/ post-test quasi-experimental research design. The participants were 46 first year schoolers at Al-Sayeda Nafisa Preparatory School for Girls, Kom Ombo Administration, Aswan Governorate. They represented two classrooms which were randomly selected and assigned into two groups: an experimental group (n=32) and a control group (n=32). The researcher designed the Grammar Achievement Test (GAT) and a gamification based program. The experimental group received instruction on grammar lessons by using guided discovery with the gamification program, while the control group was taught the same grammar lessons by following guided discovery as provided in the Teacher's Guide. The statistically analysis of the obtained data confirmed a large effect size 0.98 of using the gamification program in enhancing grammar learning. Based on these results, it was revealed that the experimental group enhanced grammar learning because of teaching them grammar by using the gamification based program.
