In this case, the concept of gamification appears. The concept of gamification is defined as the application of game elements in non-game areas. Within the scope of this study, a web portal has been developed in which gamification approach can be used in classroom learning environments. During the development of the web portal, interviews were conducted with the teachers, and the students were asked to categorize their behaviors and to develop them. In this context, a web portal based on the badge, score and leadership system that form the basis of game components has been developed. The developed web portal was piloted for 8 teachers and 170 students over 8 weeks, and updates were made in light of the feedback obtained after this pilot implementation. After the updates, it has been applied again for 8 weeks and it has been seen that the problems experienced in the previous pilot applications have been eliminated. It is predicted that the system will be applied more successfully with the suggestions given at the end of the study.
