| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Various research activities are carried out every day in research laboratories, but all of these activities involve steady, methodical work that does not produce immediate, visible results. For this reason, a mechanism to maintain motivation when research is not going well or to help students get on track with research when they have just been assigned to a laboratory could be useful. Students that have just begun their research may not yet understand how to proceed. In this research, we developed a research activity concierge (RAC) system, which is a platform to encompass general research activities, and applied gamification to this system to keep motivation high. As a result of analyzing activity logs, we found that students' research activities were more active. Moreover, as a result of the questionnaire, we also found that the motivation of B4 students was improved. These results were especially apparent in inexperienced students recently assigned to the laboratory.
