Abstract
Research is crucial for knowledge advancement, problem-solving, decision-making, and improving practices. Nonetheless, comprehending research methods can be a daunting task. A survey involving 117 undergraduates found 83.8% showed low interest in the Research Methodology course. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess and discuss the RDC’s impact on student engagement, aligning with Malaysia's educational goals. Findings illustrate that the integration of Extrinsic Motivation (EM) and Intrinsic Motivation (IM) in gamification lessons are able to boost students' learning engagement. The results directly inform the design of learning activities and guide future research directions.
