dc.description.abstractThis study developed EcoQuest, a gamified educational application to address the need for engaging and effective environmental education among high school students. It responded to issues at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) Laboratory High School, such as inconsistent waste segregation, poor application of environmental knowledge, and low motivation. To address this, the study aimed to: identify game mechanics using the Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) framework; develop the application through the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC); and assess engagement using the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ). Results showed that the MDA framework effectively aligned gameplay with learning goals, GDLC supported structured development, and GEQ responses from 30 Grade 7 students yielded a 3.64 mean rating, interpreted as “Engaged.” Students showed increased interest, motivation, and environmental awareness. With its promising results, EcoQuest offered potential scalability as a tool for integrating gamification into broader educational strategies to promote environmental literacy and long-term behavioral change.
