Abstract

Player traits are closely related to the personality of a person, which could be also known as the categorization of players based on their interest in certain game elements or game mechanics. Since the debut of gamification and game-based learning, educational institutions had implemented them within the learning context. Such an act had increased the value of the player traits study, as it serves as a guideline for the game designers to suit the players' needs, increasing players' experience, motivation, and engagement. Nowadays, diversity in the classroom is frequent, especially in a school in the era of globalization. However, in the Malaysian context, diversity has existed since the building of this nation. Cross-reference between several studies done by previous researchers will be used in this paper. In this chapter, the authors wish to propose a theoretical conceptual framework by linking diversity to player traits which hopefully can provide a new insight for instructional designers, educators, and lesson planners in the future.
