Análisis de la aplicación de la estrategia gamificación en la asignatura de matemáticas y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de preparatoria.

Abstract

Abstract: The research focuses on applying gamification to improve logical-mathematical notions in high school students of the San Gerardo Educational Unit. A mixed, exploratory and descriptive methodology was used, with a sample of 56 students aged five to six years. Knowing the current state of the development of logical-mathematical notions made it possible to identify strengths and weaknesses, through control and experimental groups, using the Wordwall and Quizizz tools, developing interactive educational games. Pre-test and post-test were applied to evaluate the impact of gamification on the students' progress, and the results showed that the average through a mean difference of the pre-test was 7.3, while with gamification it rose to 9.8, evidencing a difference of 2.5 points, with better performance in the classification activity than in the serialization activity. Identifying areas of improvement, such as the difficulty in understanding the logical sequence in some activities, which suggests adjustments in future implementations of mathematics in high school, highlighting the importance of developing gamified environments integrating motivating playful and educational elements.
