FORMATION OF A GAMIFIED EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT IN KAZAKHSTANI SCHOOLS: SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

This article explores key approaches and principles for developing a gamified educational environment in schools in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the article is to present a concept taking into account the cultural and educational context of Kazakhstan. The widespread use of digital technologies and multimedia content has transformed how students interact with information, demanding the adaptation of traditional teaching methods. In this context, integrating game elements into the learning process has become increasingly relevant as a means of enhancing student motivation and engagement. The article emphasises the significance of safety in gamification, particularly in terms of promoting psychological well-being and ensuring cybersecurity. The authors propose a classification of game mechanics based on effectiveness and safety, highlighting the necessity of their cultural and pedagogical adaptation. The proposed concept offers a comprehensive and practical framework aimed at supporting the creation of a high-quality and safe educational environment in the digital era.
