| Abstract: | Background: Point wagering creates a sense of automy and control in its users. Self-efficacy affects the implementation of this gaming strategy in a gamified test. Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of self-efficacy on the performance and utilization of this gaming strategy in audience response systems (i.e. quiz activities), as well as measure the effects of point wagering on quiz scores. Methods: 48 students were divided into two groups (control group n = 26, treatment group n = 22). All participants answered a general knowledge test in Qualtrics. The treatment group was exposed to point wagering. Here, students were allowed to distribute a total of four points over four multiple choice answers in a question, in which the most points given to an answer equalled the most shown confidence Additionally, all students were asked to fill in an academic self-efficacy instrument beforehand. Results: Analysis showed no significant difference in student’s quiz scores among the two groups. In, the control group, no correlation was found between self-efficacy and quiz scores. In the treatment group, a positive moderate correlation was found between self-efficacy and the quiz scores, as well as between the quiz scores and the confidence shown in the quiz. Conclusion: Self-efficacy does not affect the quiz scores of students in a normal quiz. However, with regards to the gamification element of point wagering, it appears that self-efficacy and the confidence shown by students are correlated to their quiz scores. |
