The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 30 through normality, linearity, and Pearson Product Moment correlation tests. The findings indicated that the data satisfied the assumptions of normality and linearity. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a very strong positive and statistically significant relationship between Quizizz use and students’ English vocabulary mastery (r = .892, p <.001), indicating that greater engagement with Quizizz was associated with higher vocabulary achievement. The study concludes that Quizizz has considerable potential as agamification-based learning medium to foster engaging, interactive, and student-centered vocabulary learning in elementary English classrooms. However, because the study employed a correlational design, the findings demonstrate an association rather than a causal effect between Quizizz use and vocabulary mastery. | | Article History

Digital technologies have expanded instructional possibilities beyond conventional textbooks and teacher-centered classroom activities by enabling learners to access interactive content, immediate feedback, and flexible learning resources.
