The following is a good example of how to cite a source in a
paragraph:
Question options:
a) Example
1:
The review of the research on gamification in education
conducted by Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015) showed that more
direct, empirical research on the effectiveness of gaming on education is
needed. Moreover, most studies do not feature an assessment on the effects of
the gaming environment on student learning (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, &
Angelova, 2015). In addition, early adopters of gamification techniques in the
classroom tended to be computer science instructors, implying that a degree of
familiarity with the gaming environment is needed before seeing significant
trends in the use of gamification in instruction (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, &
Angelova, 2015). Overall, the review demonstrated an acute need for more
research and for a supportive infrastructure for gamification methods (Dicheva,
Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015).
b) Example

addition, early adopters of gamification techniques in the classroom tended to
be computer science instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the
gaming environment is needed before seeing significant trends in the use of
gamification in instruction (Dicheva, et al.) Overall, the review demonstrated
an acute need for more research and for a supportive infrastructure for
