La Gamificación como estrategia de aprendizaje de los casos de Factorización de Polinomios en el Noveno Año EGB

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of this research is Implement Gamification as learning strategy in the cases of Factorization of Polynomials , the study was applied in the Hortensia Vásquez Educational Unit to two parallels of the ninth year of EGB, in the city ​​of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. The thesis will be based on the theories of Constructivist learning, game-based motivation and gamification. A quantitative research was used with a descriptive and explanatory scope, framed in a positivist paradigm to a control and experimental group. Each group consists of 27 students in total there are 54, the control group will receive the classes with traditional instructions and the experimental one applies six didactic sequences with gamification, one for each case of factorization. The results obtained demonstrate that gamification is a teaching strategy which produces positive changes in the learning of polynomial factorization. This Research contributes to improving classes in the area of ​​mathematics, promoting the use of innovative and motivating strategies. Furthermore, the results are expected to serve as basis for future research.
