Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a Problem-Based Learning Gamification (PBLG) model to enhance the teaching competencies and learning engagement of prospective Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic Elementary School) teachers. Addressing the pedagogical gap in teacher education, this Research and Development (R&D) study utilized the ADDIE framework involving 61 prospective teachers at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Indonesia. Data were comprehensively collected through expert validation, questionnaires, observations, and interviews. Emphasizing the research outcomes, expert validation confirmed the PBLG model's robust theoretical foundation and syntactic clarity with a highly valid score of 98.12%. The implementation phase demonstrated exceptional effectiveness, yielding an overall student response score of 4.46 out of 5 (Very High category). Specifically, the model significantly boosted learning engagement and motivation (4.50), satisfaction (4.55), gamification attractiveness (4.47), team collaboration (4.40), and material understanding (4.36). Furthermore, the preliminary analysis accommodated students' strong preference for blended learning (73.6%) and digital gadget integration. In conclusion, integrating gamification elements into PBL syntax provides a highly valid and engaging instructional framework that effectively improves prospective teachers' pedagogical motivation and problem-solving abilities.
