Gamificación para el aprendizaje de los sistemas de ecuaciones lineales

Abstract

Abstract: The study of mathematics as an irreplaceable subject to create skills For the future, it requires adequate learning. The present investigation examines the Gamification as a strategy for active learning of systems of equations linear, using a pre-experimental design with a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. The population consisted of 38 students officially enrolled in the first year of Baccalaureate. of the María Auxiliadora Fiscomisional Educational Unit of the City of Macas. It was done a pretest to identify students' prior knowledge, then, Through a gamified application, active learning of information systems was reinforced. linear equations, and finally, through a post-test, it was evaluated how gamification contributed to the learning of systems of linear equations. The technique used was interview, questionnaire, evaluation test, observation and assessment instrument research, which was validated by experts demonstrating reliability in taking the information. The data were normally distributed and presented variances homogeneous whose results showed that the pretest reached an average of 36.94 and the posttest 45.80. To test the research hypothesis, the parametric test was used. T-Student with a significance level of 5%, obtaining a probability value of 0.000. Finally, it was concluded that educational workshops using gamification contribute to improving academic performance in learning information systems linear equations.
