Abstract:

This research paper presents a proposed mobile application model named “Eco-School Arab”
specifically designed for primary school students (ages 6-14). The application is based on
gamification theory, which has proven effectiveness[5-6] in behavior modification and
enhancing intrinsic motivation among children. The application operates on a simple concept:
converting positive environmental behaviors into points and symbolic rewards, where students
record their daily green behaviors (such as turning off lights when leaving the classroom,
properly closing water taps, sorting waste into designated containers, bringing reusable water
bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles) by scanning QR codes placed in appropriate
locations within the classroom
