Gamificación como estrategia de aprendizaje de las Matemáticas en educación básica

Abstract

Abstract: Gamification is a technique that uses game elements in non-game environments. recreational activities, such as education, in order to motivate students in their learning process. learning. The present study seeks to explore the use of the Kahoot tool as a form of gamification, with the aim of evaluating its impact on academic performance in the subject of mathematics. The methodology carried out is quasi-experimental and is applied to 18 students in the ninth and tenth year of basic education of the Educational Unit Carchi, divided into control and experimental groups. The selected technique was survey. The results revealed that the implementation of gamification through Kahoot led to higher grades and averages compared to the group of control, generating a positive impact on the academic performance of students. This Research has social relevance by taking advantage of students' affinity towards digital technologies and games, as well as an academic justification for contributing to the existing knowledge in the field of gamification and its application in teaching the maths.
