Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the learning outcomes of engineering students using android gamification application. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the Android gamification application grounded in a problem-solving approach to enhance metacognitive awareness. The objective of this study is to improve the digital and technological abilities of young individuals, while also fostering their cognitive and emotional preparedness for new educational prospects. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted among 263 Electronics Engineering students in Higher Education who had accessed the Android gamification. Questionnaires were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using the Fuzzy C-Means Clustering approach, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study highlights that the team problem-solving approach, which incorporated game-like elements and mechanics, facilitated effective and creative collaboration among students. The results showed that the use of a problem-solving-based Android gamification significantly enhanced metacognitive awareness. Moreover, factors such as learning readiness and digital literacy had a positive impact. Perceived usefulness and the application ease of use were crucial mediators in the relationship between these factors and metacognitive awareness. This study provided practical insights by enriching engineering education methodologies through technology integration.
