segment We hope that our survey can not only help Company M to fulfill their plans but also be a useful material for the continuous development with regard to Gamified Education and other means of Education in the near future II Methods of implementation The data of our report were conducted 100% online through the research engine – Google Form As mentioned above, most of the answers we received were from individuals who have experienced in K-12 before and currently still in use We use a range of research questions, which is completely in Vietnamese, is exactly like what we received from The Organizing Committee of Race for knowledge contest IV Result and Discussion Respondent Information Age Sexuality Profession Subject Under 18 years old From 18 to 29 years old From 30 to 45 years old Over 45 years old Male Female Highschooler/ University Student Teacher Parents Amount 20 178 59 146 198 Percentage (%) 9.8 86.8 3.4 28.8 71.2 96.6 1.5 2.0 Among all the participants, most of them come from Ho Chi Minh City – Southern area, which means that Ho Chi Minh city is the province mostly affected by the COVID – 19 Second places of the mostly used of K-12 are the other provinces from Southern area and Middle area The result also reveals that the least used of K-12 in company of highschoolers and university students from all over Vietnam is Northern area The table indicates that the majority of profession of these consumers is Highschoolers or University Students , equals 96.6 % The amount of Highschoolers and University Students is dramatically more than Quantity of both Parents and Teacher – only worth 3.5% in comparison Object This results in the number of individuals from 18 to 29 years old is significantly high Object The percentage of Female is much more than Male because it personally depends on us who conducted this survey so this quantity should not be a worry in our report Object About the purpose of education receive, this is the result we registered: Object It is clear from the table that most of the participants choose education enclitic to develop the education or knowledge ability of themselves and their children which make this option exceeds 80% However, the option – preparation for future employment nearly got the same number of votes with the previous one while it consciously reaches 78.5% Another option that should be noticed is self – discovery and development which is chose by 72.7% of participants Other two options are preparation for the National High school Exam and go to their desired university or college and other purpose account for a small amount compare to the formers (43.4% in summary) Object 11 It is not a surprise to us or any Vietnamese people to know that almost highschooler all over the country and their senior choose to study Natural Science which includes: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and more instead of select Social Science which consist of Literature, History, Geography and so on This is practically affected by the student’s parents who usually force their children to study in Natural Science That leads to the 60.5% votes for Natural Science as distinct from Social Science with only 19.5% votes Conclusion: After a full analysis process with reference to the education enclitic of 205 participants, we can partially conclude that nearly everyone goes to school to reach the certain level of knowledge for their future career and also be a second teacher for their offspring or a supervisor of their own kids This means that education play a crucial part in building family and the society of a whole country and nation Beside to this positive aspect, there is a disappointing backward that should be considered is the huge gap between students who major in natural disciplines and social ones 2 Identify respondent 2.1 Social science respondent a Disadvantages in social science There are six options with five well-known drawbacks and others This table below shows options coordinating with 40 answers: Drawback Scholarly academic knowledge Numerous parts of knowledge need to be memorized Backward and old-fashioned educational methods Fully academic

natural science Amount 9 8 Percentage (%) 22.5 22.5 20 20 7.5 7.5 There are six options with five well-known drawbacks and others This table below shows options coordinating with 165 answers: Drawback Complex numerical and formulated knowledge Knowledge required memory more than thinking Backward and old-fashioned educational methods Fully academic and impractical syllabuses Unrealistic studying programs compare to society and communities Other drawbacks Amount 43 28 15 55 Percentage (%) 26.1 17 9.1 33.3 22 13.3 1.2 b Gamified Education awareness Object 17 Analysis: Through these charts and tables, it is clear that: - Students who is studying or used to study natural science tend to notice and utilize edutainment app more than those who majoring or used to major in social science: + The percentage of both knew before but never used and already used of social science is only 37.5% while the percentage of the same categories of natural science arounds 47.9% + The difference between number of natural science student who never heard about gamified education before and the same group of social science is 10.4% - However, both types of students agreed that most of the knowledge, they received from school is academic and unintelligible and also those comprehension required memorizing more than understanding There is still a significant variation of them which is fully academic and impractical syllabuses While 33.3% of natural science highschoolers choose this disadvantage, there is scarcely 20% of social science individuals votes for this downside Conclusion: Through these analyses, we can claim that natural science students are more likely to know and use edutainment apps than social science students because they considered syllabuses which are provided by school are mainly unrealistic and too academic for them to understand Moreover, this type of highschoolers approach edutainment app can be explained that most edutainment and gamified education apps are concerning to subject of natural science like Mathematics, Physis, Chemistry, Biology and more Never heard before respondent 3.1 Suitable education form Object 19 This pie illustrates that barely
