Implementation of Gamification Octalysis Method at Design and Build a React Native Framework Learning Application

There are many kinds of frameworks that can be used to make a mobile hybrid application. One of the frameworks that a lot of big companies’ use is React Native. React Native offers a feature to build cross platform mobile based application but there are some difficulties in learning this framework such as understand the ecosystem and concept of React and how declarative programming works. This makes learning React Native harder for a software developer who wants to learn this framework. Octalysis is a gamification method that have eight core that focused on human. This research aims to design and build a React Native learning application using the Octalysis gamification method and measuring the level of behavioral intention to use and immersion of the application based on Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Mode (HMSAM). Application testing is carried out by field testing to user who wants to learn React Native. Questionnaire that has been created referring to HMSAM model to measure intrinsic motivation of the user such as user's desire to use the application again (behavioral intention to use) and user focus when using the application (immersion). Evaluation result shows that users strongly agree that they are going to use the React Native learning application in the future with average percentage of 83,24% and users agree that they feel focus when using the React Native learning application with average percentage of 73,79%.
