Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas penerapan elemen gamifikasi dalam platform pembelajaran digital terhadap hasil belajar siswa melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Secara khusus, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi elemen gamifikasi yang paling banyak digunakan, mengevaluasi pengaruhnya terhadap hasil belajar, serta menganalisis hubungan antara gamifikasi, motivasi belajar, keterlibatan siswa, dan pencapaian akademik. Metode penelitian menggunakan pedoman PRISMA 2020 dengan proses identifikasi, penyaringan, seleksi, dan sintesis artikel yang diperoleh dari basis data internasional bereputasi, yaitu Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online Library, ERIC, dan Google Scholar. Artikel yang dianalisis merupakan penelitian empiris terindeks Scopus yang dipublikasikan pada periode 2021–2025 dan membahas implementasi gamifikasi dalam pembelajaran digital. Data dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan narrative synthesis untuk mengidentifikasi pola dan tren temuan penelitian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa gamifikasi secara konsisten memberikan dampak positif terhadap hasil belajar akademik, motivasi belajar, dan keterlibatan siswa. Elemen gamifikasi berbasis perkembangan (progression-based elements) seperti challenges, levels, missions, progress tracking, dan feedback systems ditemukan sebagai elemen yang paling efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar dibandingkan elemen berbasis penghargaan atau kompetisi. Selain itu, motivasi dan keterlibatan siswa terbukti berperan sebagai variabel mediasi utama yang menjelaskan hubungan antara gamifikasi dan hasil belajar. Temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan personalized gamification menghasilkan efektivitas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan desain gamifikasi yang bersifat umum. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis yang berfokus pada efektivitas masing-masing elemen gamifikasi dalam platform pembelajaran digital, bukan sekadar mengevaluasi gamifikasi sebagai satu konstruk tunggal. Penelitian ini juga mengintegrasikan bukti empiris terkini hingga tahun 2025 dan mengembangkan sintesis konseptual mengenai mekanisme hubungan antara elemen gamifikasi, motivasi, keterlibatan, dan hasil belajar. Kontribusi penelitian ini adalah pengembangan kerangka konseptual yang menjelaskan bagaimana berbagai elemen gamifikasi memengaruhi proses pembelajaran digital, sekaligus memberikan rekomendasi berbasis bukti bagi pendidik, pengembang Learning Management System (LMS), dan perancang pembelajaran digital dalam memilih elemen gamifikasi yang paling efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.
