The problem statements. The research problem addressed in this study is to investigate the impact of AI-driven gamification on student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in primary schools in Arar, Saudi Arabia. While there is existing literature highlighting the potential benefits of AI-driven gamification in education [1], [2], there is a distinct lack of empirical research within the Saudi Arabian educational context. This study aims to bridge this gap by exploring teacher perspectives on AI-driven gamification, focusing on its implementation, its influence on student motivation and engagement, and its outcomes on student learning.

Furthermore, this research seeks to identify any challenges or limitations associated with the integration of AI-driven gamification into the educational setting. Technical glitches, as highlighted in previous studies Rong et al[3], have the potential to disrupt the learning process, and understanding how these challenges manifest in the Saudi Arabian context is essential. Moreover, concerns about curriculum integration, as voiced by teachers [4], are relevant as they may impact the alignment of AI-driven gamification with educational objectives.

This research problem is significant as it addresses a growing interest in harnessing technology and gamification strategies to enhance education, which is a global trend [5]. Understanding the experiences and perceptions of teachers in Saudi Arabia, a culturally diverse and dynamic educational context, can provide valuable insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of AI-driven gamification. Moreover, this study contributes to the broader field of educational technology and pedagogy [6] by shedding light on the potential benefits and challenges associated with AI-driven gamification, ultimately serving the interests of educators, policymakers, and researchers striving to improve teaching and learning outcomes.

Analysis of recent studies and publications. Gamification has been employed in Massive Open Online Courses and classroom experiments to assess its effectiveness in shaping student motivation, attitudes toward learning, peer learning, social interdependence, achievement, and emotions [7]. The fusion of gamification with cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality holds the promise of making theoretical teaching more engaging and exciting for both students and educators. AI-driven gamification has the potential to revolutionize educational approaches in the classroom, with student engagement identified as a pivotal factor in enhancing motivation and supporting learning [8].

Gamification, characterized by the incorporation of game elements into the learning process, taps into the motivational power of these elements within an educational context. These elements can include points, badges, leaderboards, and leveling up - features commonly encountered in games. AI-driven gamification surpasses traditional methods by leveraging artificial intelligence technologies to enhance the effectiveness of gamified learning experiences.

Artificial intelligence's role in gamification enables personalized and adaptive learning experiences. Educators can use AI-driven gamification to customize content and challenges according to each student's individual needs, preferences, and learning styles. For instance, AI algorithms can assess a student's performance and offer personalized feedback and recommendations for improvement. Additionally, AI can analyze student engagement and progress data to identify areas requiring additional support [6]. Moreover, AI-driven gamification fosters a collaborative and interactive learning environment. It facilitates group activities and offers real-time feedback, encouraging teamwork and interaction among students [5]. Extensive research suggests that the integration of AI-driven gamification in classrooms positively influences student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes, motivating active participation in the learning process [9].

Plass et al. and Zhyhadlo [10], [11] categorize gamification as triggering four types of engagement: cognitive, affective, behavioral, and sociocultural, creating a more comprehensive and immersive learning experience. Furthermore, AI-driven gamification enhances learning outcomes. Numerous studies have reported enhanced academic achievement and knowledge retention among students who engage in AI-driven gamified learning activities. For instance, Cortizas et al. [12] found that students participating in AI-driven gamified learning activities scored higher on assessments and demonstrated a deeper understanding of the material compared to those who did not partake in gamified activities. Additionally, AI-driven gamification can address individual differences among students by personalizing the learning experience based on their unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. It provides immediate feedback, allowing students to monitor their progress and make real-time adjustments. This incorporation of AI-driven gamification also benefits educators, enabling them to analyze student data and gain insights into their performance while enhancing the social aspect of learning by promoting collaboration and peer learning [13].

Despite the potential benefits, it is crucial to acknowledge the challenges and considerations associated with AI-driven gamification in education. The motivational power of gamification, particularly in an educational context, is well-documented and can enhance student engagement and motivation to learn. Gamification empowers students by providing a sense of competition and rewards, along with autonomy and control over their learning journey. Students can set goals, track their progress, and earn rewards or points for their achievements. This motivational aspect of gamification fosters increased engagement and motivation for learning within the classroom. Moreover, previous studies have shown that gamification leads to increased conceptual knowledge when students engage in academic or education-related games. This method has been associated with several benefits and is widely adopted in many universities, enhancing learning efficiency and student engagement [14].

The introduction of AI-driven gamification in education has heightened these benefits, particularly in terms of increasing student motivation. AI-driven gamification uses artificial intelligence algorithms to provide personalized learning experiences. These algorithms evaluate student performance, preferences, and learning styles, tailoring game-based activities and challenges to individual needs. This personalization significantly enhances student motivation by offering a relevant and individualized learning experience. Additionally, AI-driven gamification fosters student engagement by creating dynamic and adaptive learning experiences tailored to each student's unique strengths and areas for improvement. This personalized approach sparks student interest and maintains engagement throughout the learning process. Beyond motivation and engagement, AI-driven gamification has also been found to improve learning outcomes. Research by Lei et al. [15] demonstrates that students engaging in AI-driven gamified learning environments exhibit higher levels of knowledge retention and improved learning outcomes compared to traditional instructional methods. Furthermore, these techniques increase achievement motivation and enhance material absorption in students [16].

While research has provided empirical evidence of gamification's positive impact on user engagement and achievement [2], the integration of AI techniques appears poised to enhance these outcomes even further. AI's capacity to personalize the educational experience and adapt to individual learning styles aligns with the perspectives of Roll and Wylie [17], emphasizing its potential to revolutionize education.

Numerous studies have explored AI-driven gamification in education and its effects on teaching and learning. Research by Dichev & Dicheva [18] demonstrates that AI-powered gamification can enhance students' problem-solving abilities, as well as promote higher student motivation and engagement. Gamified activities enable learners to tackle complex challenges, fostering critical thinking and the development of lifelong learning skills. Moreover, Aldemir et al. [19]emphasize the motivational aspects of gamified learning, particularly when integrated with AI-driven techniques and robotic instruction. They underscore how elements like competition, challenge, socialization, and imagination can enhance learners' interest and active involvement.

However, implementing such technology is a complex process requiring careful consideration. Teachers, as key players in its successful integration, hold invaluable perspectives. While research often extols the potential benefits of AI-driven gamified learning [20], it rarely explores teachers' views on the matter. Teachers typically approach this integration with cautious optimism, acknowledging the potential benefits while emphasizing the need for further empirical evidence [21].

In light of this, this study aims to comprehensively examine teachers' perspectives regarding the integration of AI-driven gamification in the classroom and its impact on student outcomes. It seeks to answer the following questions:
