Systematic Literature Review on Gamification in School Geography, 2019-2024

40 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024 form the core of this systematic literature review on gamification in geography teaching. The review, authored by Nazerke Shernay and shared on figshare, followed the PRISMA protocol and analyzed documents from Scopus and Google Scholar. It used VOSviewer software to visualize bibliometric connections and thematic clusters.

Use Cases

• Analyzing research trends in educational gamification based on the bibliometric connections visualized with VOSviewer
• Identifying gaps in the study of subject-specific digital tools for geography based on the review's findings
• Evaluating the reported effects of gamification on student motivation and spatial reasoning based on the analyzed articles

Strengths

• Followed the PRISMA protocol and PICOS criteria for transparency and reproducibility
• Analyzed 40 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024
• Used VOSviewer software for bibliometric visualization

Limitations

• The dataset is a 685.9 KB DOCX file, indicating a limited scope of raw data
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The description notes a small number of empirical studies and insufficient representation of developing countries in the underlying literature
