Zusammenfassung:As gamification is introduced into education, researchers believe it has the potential to improve online learning. However, the effects of gamified online learning (GOL) are mixed. Is it more effective than online learning? Given that no meta-analysis analyzes the effectiveness of GOL. This meta-analysis explores the effects of GOL on students’ learning based on 27 experimental studies. The results show that GOL has a medium positive effect on students’ learning (SMD=0.533, 95% CI [0.405, 0.662], p
