一句话：通过调查比较软件工程学生与从业者对视频培训游戏化的态度，发现双方均支持但从业者更怀疑其学习效果。
视频培训虽灵活且可个性化，但被动观看易导致浅层学习；评论视频和查阅他人评论等反思活动可提高参与度，游戏化可能进一步增强参与，但需考虑学习者类型。本文通过问卷调查，比较软件工程学生与从业者对视频培训游戏化的态度。86名来自两所大学的学生和102名通过Prolific招募的从业者先使用非游戏化视频培训平台，再完成问卷。结果显示，两组对视频培训的总体态度相似，均支持游戏化；但从业者对游戏化是否促进学习更持怀疑态度。在实现方式上，两组都偏好组合使用积分、徽章和排行榜，而非单一游戏元素。研究揭示了两类学习者的异同，可为游戏化培训设计提供依据。
Background: Video-based training delivers flexible, personalized learning for software engineering students and professionals. However, passively watching videos leads to superficial learning. Reflective activities, e.g., commenting on videos and reviewing comments of other learners, increase engagement with video content. Adding gamification to these activities can further increase engagement. However, gamified training needs to consider the type of learner. Aims: We study the attitudes of software engineering students and professionals towards gamifying video-based training. Method: We conducted a survey with 86 software engineering students from two universities and 102 professionals recruited via Prolific. Participants interacted with a non-gamified video-based training platform before completing the survey. Results: Students and professionals share similar attitudes toward video-based training in general. Furthermore, both groups supported gamification of video-based training. However, professionals were more skeptical about its impact on learning. Regarding the implementation, both groups favored a combination of game elements (points, badges, leader-boards) rather than single elements. Conclusions: We highlight similarities and differences between software engineering students and professionals regarding gamification in video-based training. Findings can inform the design of gamified training solutions.
