Abstract

The current research aimed to study the interaction between the timing of offering rewards (immediate / postponed) and player type (achieved / explored) in an electronic learning environment based on game stimuli in developing the achievement and self-efficacy of educational technology students. The quasi-experimental approach was used, depending on the global design (2 × 2). The research sample consisted of (60) students in the Faculty of Specific Education, Department of Educational Technology, who were randomly assigned to the four research groups. A list of standards for the electronic environment based on gaming stimuli was prepared, which included (17) standards and (142) indicators. A test for cognitive achievement was developed, and a self-efficacy scale was developed on the "class dojo" platform, the scale is of (25) single. One-way and two-way analysis of variance, ETA square, and Shave test were used for comparison between groups. The results showed the effectiveness of timing. Presentation of postponed rewards by comparison with timing of immediate rewards, the effectiveness of explorer player mode in comparison and effectiveness of player style achieved, and the fourth treatment preference for the interaction between timing of presentation of postponed rewards and player explorer mode compared to other experimental treatments.
