Abstract
Today, top universities in Russia and the world are actively implementing gamification to increase student engagement and motivation, however, incorrect gamification techniques often make the learning process ineffective. The reasons for this are the insufficient qualifications of teachers and the lack of involvement of students who play for fun, rather than in order to gain new knowledge. The article represents the results of survey among students regarding the practice of using gamification as a tool for managing professional development. Besides, the authors describe the experience of introducing gamification elements into the educational process at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. Ways of using game elements in the educational process are proposed in order to identify opportunities to increase student engagement and motivation, and the idea of creating a new unit that will develop and improve game mechanics in the educational process is substantiated.
