This article empirically analyzes the impact of gamification elements on the academic activity of medical college students. 300 students participated in the study. The data collected on the basis of a questionnaire were aimed at determining how gamification affects motivation, participation, learning enthusiasm, and activity in the lesson. The results of the analysis show that in a gamified learning environment, students show high activity and a conscious approach to the lesson process increases. The article also provides practical recommendations for educators.
