Abstract

Over the years, a plethora of approaches has been conducted aiming to make the educational environments, especially, the intelligent educational systems, more dynamics to better engage the students. Among the approaches, the recent studies are highlighting the personalization of gamification in this kind of systems as a promise way to provide better educational systems. At the same time, different theories have also been studied aiming to provide to students, more engager educational systems or evaluate the efficacy of this kind of system. Considering these theories, the Flow Theory proposes an experience of maximum appreciation of a moment or activity, that can be used to provide better intelligent educational systems, capable of promoting a student flow experience and improve the students' learning. In this sense, this project aims to propose a conceptual model to design dynamic gamified intelligent educational systems, capable of be automatically adapted according to the students' and teachers' gamer type, gender, and individual interests, aiming to provide a student flow experience, as well as, design a model capable of identify the students' and teachers' flow experience based on technologies such as eye tracking, encephalogram and data analysis.
