The Effect of Gamification Teaching Strategies Based on Multimodal Theory on the Learning Engagement of 3-6-Year-Old Children

With the continuous development of the education system, early childhood education as a basic stage is highly valued for its teaching quality and methods. Based on multimodal theory, this study designed a set of gamification teaching strategies to explore their impact on the learning engagement of children aged 3-6 years. This study adopts the case study method, focuses on the difference between multi-modal strategy and single-modal strategy, and conducts investigation and data analysis on 130 children in the class of multi-modal gamified teaching strategy. Moreover, interviews are used to collect data from 8 parents and 4 preschool teachers, to explore how multimodal gamification strategies affect the classroom teaching effect in kindergarten, as well as the cognitive development and learning interest of children. The results showed that the gamification teaching strategy significantly increased children's interest in learning, engagement and cognitive focus, and the findings provide theoretical support and practical guidance for early childhood education.
