Question
options:

a) Example
1:The review of the research on gamification in education conducted by Dicheva,

on the effectiveness of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, most studies
do not feature an assessment on the effects of the gaming environment on
student learning (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015). In addition,
early adopters of gamification techniques in the classroom tended to be computer
science instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the gaming
environment is needed before seeing significant trends in the use of
gamification in instruction (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015).
Overall, the review demonstrated an acute need for more research and for a
supportive infrastructure for gamification methods (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre,
& Angelova, 2015).

2:The review of the research on gamification in education conducted by Dicheva,
Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015) showed that more direct, empirical research
on the effectiveness of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, they
discovered that most studies do not feature an assessment on the effects of the
gaming environment on student learning. In addition, early adopters of
gamification techniques in the classroom tended to be computer science
instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the gaming environment
is needed before seeing significant trends in the use of gamification in
instruction (Dicheva et al., 2015).
Overall, the review demonstrated an acute need for more research and for
