Abstract

Povećanjem potrebe za digitalnim vještinama u svakodnevnom životu te istovremenim smanjenjem koncentracije učenika, razvoj interaktivnih sustava za podučavanje digitalnih kompetencija koji se prilagođavaju učeniku postaje neophodan. U sklopu ovog diplomskog rada razvijen je sustav za učenje programiranja u jeziku Python. Klijentska aplikacija razvijena je u radnom okviru Flutter, poslužiteljska u radnom okviru .NET, a za bazu podataka odabran je MongoDB. Kako bi se povećala motivacija učenika, u aplikaciji su implementirani elementi igrifikacije poput XP bodova, dnevnih ciljeva i ljestvice poretka. Radi povećanja kvalitete učenja, implementirani su i elementi adaptivnog učenja poput prilagodljivih lekcija, algoritma za prilagodbu razine učenika i algoritma za prilagodbu težine vježbi. Sustav je testiran radi otklanjanja pogrešaka i povećanja intuitivnosti korisničkog sučelja. Sustav je iskorišten i za ispitivanje učinkovitosti igrifikacije. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju naznake učinkovitosti korištenja igrifikacije radi povećanja motivacije učenika, ali potrebno je dodatno istraživanje, s većim uzorkom korisnika.

Abstract (english)

With the increasing need for digital skills in day-to-day life, and the simultaneous decline in students’ concentration, developing interactive systems for teaching digital competencies that adapt to the student becomes essential. As part of this master thesis, a system for learning programming in Python language was developed. The client application was developed using the Flutter framework, the server-side app using the .NET framework, and MongoDB was chosen for the database. To enhance student motivation, gamification elements, such as XP points, daily quests, and a leaderboard were implemented in the app. To improve the quality of learning, adaptive learning elements were also implemented, such as adaptive lessons, a student score adjustment algorithm, and an exercise difficulty adjustment algorithm. The system was tested to eliminate bugs and to increase the intuitiveness of the user interface. Additionally, the system was used to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification. The results indicate that gamification may be effective in increasing student motivation, but further research with larger sample size is needed.
