The Effect of the Interaction Between Competition Pattern within a learning environment based on gamification and Cognitive Style (Risk-taking vs. Caution) on the Development of Programming Project Production Skills and E-Learning Passion among Educational Technology Students. Research abstract: The current research aims to study the interaction between the type of competition (individual/comparative) and the cognitive style (risk-taking/cautious) within a learning environment based on gamification, and its impact on developing programming project production skills and electronic passion among educational technology students. Two experimental treatments were prepared: the first using the individual competition pattern, and the second using the comparative competition pattern. Each group was internally divided into two subgroups based on cognitive style (risk-taking/cautious). An achievement test was prepared to measure the cognitive aspect, an observation checklist to assess the performance aspect, and a scale for measuring electronic passion. These treatments and tools were applied to a sample of (100) students in the Educational Technology Department at the Faculty of Specific Education, Zagazig University. The results of the study revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of students in the individual competition group and those in the comparative competition group in the post-test of the cognitive achievement test related to programming project production skills, as well as in the post-assessment of the performance observation checklist, in favor of the comparative competition group. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the two groups in the post-measurement of the electronic passion scale. The researcher recommends the importance of considering the suitable competition style for learners within gamification learning environments.
