A number of motivational theories are related to the student themselves such asSelf-Determination Theory [5], Expectancy-Value Theory [12, 13] or Self-Efficacy [14]. In thisstudy, the MUSIC model of academic motivation [4] was used to measure student motivation inthe FYE courses. The MUSIC

Similarly, in our work,we have found that senior engineering students’ engineering design self-efficacy wassubstantially increased through particular creativity training [37]; other benefits associated withteaching creativity in the engineering curriculum derive from the overall increase in studentperformance [7, 38]. During this work, our group measured substantial increases in key outcomemeasures of creativity from engineering students who underwent a semester-long senior designcourse using evidence-based methods (that implement specific creativity learning methods intothe traditional engineering coursework) [39-42].None of these studies, however, has focused on the impact of creativity

, autonomy, andrelatedness. In other words, students’ individual motivation is constrained by the normsof the classroom (Goldin et al. 2016). When students’ basic psychological needs aresupported by the classroom structure, they are more likely to internalize their motivationto learn (Niemec & Ryan 2009). Many prior studies in education, ranging fromelementary school to college, have shown the importance of promoting autonomousregulation in the classroom (Deci et al. 1991). In general, more autonomous forms ofmotivation have been linked to increased interest, excitement, and confidence. This hasbeen shown to lead to higher performance and persistence, even among students with thesame level of self-efficacy (Ryan & Deci 2000).ContextTo study

has drawn even more attention to theunderrepresentation of women in computing. Women currently comprise only 15.7% of computingdegrees awarded, a proportion that has been declining in the past three decades. Some researchersbelieve that this is due to the fact that women experience lower perception of self-efficacy andhigher perception of computer anxiety (Ahuja & Thatcher, 2005; Venkatesh & Morris, 2000;Whitley, 1997). Many female students believe that traditional approaches of teaching computerscience are boring and uninviting (AAUW, 2000; Margolis & Fisher, 2002; Ashcraft et al., 2012).Therefore, gamification can be a potentially promising approach to enhance the engagement andenjoyment of computer science students.
