The Combination of Gamification Teaching and Technology

Abstract

As technology continues to advance, its integration into kindergarten education is becoming more common. The use of electronic devices, such as smart televisions and educational software, enriches teaching and learning and enhances children's participation and learning. Interactive tools, including multimedia and gamified learning applications, can foster children's problem-solving, communication and cooperation skills and contribute to their overall development. Research has found that while technology can bring many educational benefits, early childhood educators and parents must be alert to potential risks, such as the negative impact on children's health of over-reliance on devices and prolonged screen use. This study analyses the impact of technology on young children's learning and lives through literature analysis and the study of past experimental results. The findings suggest that (1) teachers need to make thoughtful use of technology and select age-appropriate games and educational tools to meet children's developmental needs. (2) Ongoing teacher training and the development of innovative educational applications are essential to maximize the benefits of technology while protecting children's physical and mental health. (3) Appropriate assessment, feedback and data-driven personalized instruction can ensure the effective integration of technology in preschool education and lay a solid foundation for children's future learning.
