Brief Summary

This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of reinforcement using Kahoot (a gamification tool) and Google Forms (an interactive quiz platform) on the academic achievement and motivation of midwifery students enrolled in the "Normal Birth and Postpartum Period" course. The study involves two intervention groups: one using Kahoot and the other using Google Forms. A total of 39 third-year midwifery students will participate. Academic success will be measured through pre- and post-tests, motivation levels through a validated motivation scale, and qualitative feedback will be obtained through student opinion forms. The study seeks to explore how different digital reinforcement tools affect learning outcomes and student engagement in midwifery education.
