La Gamificación como estrategia metodológica para dinamizar el proceso de aprendizaje de operaciones combinadas y pitagóricas con números racionales.

Abstract

Abstract: This research focused on evaluating gamification as a methodological strategy to streamline the learning process of combined and Pythagorean operations with rational numbers in eighth grade students. The study was developed within the positivist paradigm, following a quasi-experimental design and a quantitative approach with an explanatory scope. The sample was made up of 37 students: 18 from the group experimental and 19 from the control group. A pre-test and a post-test were applied to both groups, and planning based on gamification was implemented for the experimental group. In addition, a survey was carried out to know the experience of the students after the application of gamification. The results showed that this strategy improved significantly the dynamics of the classes, motivating and involving students in their learning. It is concluded that gamification effectively improves the learning of Combined and Pythagorean operations with rational numbers.
