Abstract	The rapid transformation of education in the digital era has necessitated innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance student motivation, participation, and learning outcomes. Gamification, defined as the integration of game design elements into non-game contexts, has emerged as a powerful strategy in teaching and learning environments. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the gamification of teaching and learning aimed at fostering deep learner engagement. Drawing on constructivist learning theory, self-determination theory, and experiential learning principles, the framework explains how game mechanics, learner psychology, and instructional design interact to promote cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement. The paper further discusses the pedagogical implications of gamification and highlights its relevance in higher education and technology-enabled learning contexts.
