Abstract

This article explores how gamification can serve therapeutic purposes in education, focusing on its ability to reduce anxiety, boost motivation, and improve self-efficacy among students. By integrating game elements such as rewards, challenges, and levels, gamified learning environments create a supportive experience that promotes emotional well-being. Through a review of current research, this article presents insights into the mental health benefits of gamification in educational settings.
