The method used was qualitative, with questionnaires and interview as the instruments. The participants were 69 twelfth graders students of three classes who filled the questionnaires, as 9 students among them were interviewed as the representatives. Results showed that students perceived experience in using gamified online quizzes was positive. They recognized such quizzes as interactive and useful for their learning. Moreover, they were found to be engaged in using the gamified online quizzes. They showed their engagement in behavior, emotion, cognitive, and agentic
