<p>(1) Originality. The manuscript offers a timely, new and significant contribution to the Interamerican psychology.<br>The paper expands the theoretical, empirical, and practice understanding of the topic.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>(2) Research [if applicable]. If the paper is based on empirical evidence, does the quantitative or qualitative methodology fit the research question(s)? Are the sampling techniques, systematic data collection, and data analysis appropriate for the study? Do the data support the findings? Are findings contextualized in light of previous literature?</p>
<p>I'm going to answer question by question.</p>
<p>a) If the paper is based on empirical evidence, does the quantitative or qualitative methodology fit the research question(s)?</p>
<p>Yes, the paper is based on empirical evidence, but this evidence is measured by an instrument that only measures part of it. The author proposes to evaluate the effects of gamified technology on students motivation, but they only measure the verbal behavior that talks about students motivation. I fact, the methodology presents some substantial problems that jeopardize the analysis of the results and the discussion.</p>
<p>b)Are the sampling techniques, systematic data collection, and data analysis appropriate for the study? Do the data support the findings?</p>
<p>No. There are variations in the main goal of the paper. In the end, we can't say for sure if the VI (the technology) had any effect on the VD (motivation).</p>
<p>c) Are findings contextualized in light of previous literature?<br>Yes.</p>
<p><br>(3) Theory [if applicable]. This paper is based upon a systematic and reflective examination of one or more literature of theoretical or conceptual perspectives.</p>
<p>Not applicable.</p>
<p>(4) Practice [if applicable]. The manuscript provides information that will be useful in the practice of psychology by a targeted audience and/or the interdisciplinary readership of the journal. The content may include but is not limited to case studies, narratives of supervision, or demonstration projects. Implications for supervision practice in clinical, organizational, and educational settings are discussed.</p>
<p>Not applicable.</p>
<p>(5) Literature Review. Author(s) critically review relevant literature and demonstrate an understanding of current knowledge related to the topic. Author(s) build on existing literature in formulating ideas for this submission.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>(6) Writing. Is the manuscript well written, grammatically correct, free of spelling errors, cohesive, and logically organized? Are conclusions stated clearly? Do the author(s) appropriately reference primary and secondary sources using the APA publication manual?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I consider that the paper needs profound modifications, especially in the methods section. Thus, I consider it rejected.</p>
