The following is a good example of how to cite a source in a paragraph:
Question options:
a) Example 1:
The review of the research on gamification in education conducted by Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015) showed that more direct, empirical research on the effectiveness of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, most studies do not feature an assessment on the effects of the gaming environment on student learning (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015). In addition, early adopters of gamification techniques in the classroom tended to be computer science instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the gaming environment is needed before seeing significant trends in the use of gamification in instruction (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015). Overall, the review demonstrated an acute need for more research and for a supportive infrastructure for gamification methods (Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, & Angelova, 2015).
b) Example 2:
The review of the research on gamification in education conducted by Dicheva, Dichev, Agre, and Angelova (2015) showed that more direct, empirical research on the effectiveness of gaming on education is needed. Moreover, they discovered that most studies do not feature an assessment on the effects of the gaming environment on student learning. In addition, early adopters of gamification techniques in the classroom tended to be computer science instructors, implying that a degree of familiarity with the gaming environment is needed before seeing significant trends in the use of gamification in instruction (Dicheva, et al.) Overall, the review demonstrated an acute need for more research and for a supportive infrastructure for gamification methods.
c) Example 3:
