Estrategias de gamificación aplicables a la enseñanza del teorema de Pitágoras para estudiantes de la maestría en educación mención enseñanza de la matemática en la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: In the current educational context, the teaching of the Pythagorean Theorem represents a significant pedagogical challenge in the field of mathematics. This research is focuses on Analyzing the influence of the use of the gamification methodology as pedagogical tool to improve the understanding and application of this object of study among teachers with a focus on teaching. Through the design and implementation of recreational and participatory strategies, the aim is not only to strengthen the active learning, but also promote a stimulating educational environment and motivator. The results demonstrating the non-use of this methodology also show preliminary data indicating a positive response from participants towards these methodologies, highlighting their potential to facilitate deeper understanding and significance of the Pythagorean Theorem. However, the need is identified for adapt these strategies to the specific context of each teacher and educational environment, as well as overcoming initial challenges in practical implementation. In conclusion, the The integration of gamification represents a promising advance to enrich the teaching of higher mathematics, promoting both educational quality and the continued interest of teachers in this fundamental discipline.
