Abstract
This study aims to investigate the factors affecting students’ willingness to use gamification. To achieve this objective, a quantitative research method was used, and data were collected employing the survey technique. The sample of the study consisted of 105 university students in Jordan. The survey was structured to take into consideration the inclusion of students from different colleges and majors. The results indicated that perceived usefulness, normative beliefs and task-technology fit are the factors that have the most significant effect on students’ willingness to use gamification as a learning technique. Hopefully, the results of this study will help in formulating policies and in introducing a new technique to be used by both instructors and students, especially in the classroom setting. The study will also help determine the effectiveness of the technology apps used by university staff in Jordan.
