Educaplay para el aprendizaje de la Electricidad y el Magnetismo, en la asignatura de Física para el nivel de Bachillerato General Unificado

Abstract

Abstract: The integration of gamificationin the classroom is essential to generate a more interactive learning environmentthat canmotivate students to generatetheir own knowledge acquisition,thusimproving their academic performance.The purpose of this research work is to use Educaplay to teachphysics high school students Electricity and Magnetism.36 students from the "Primero de Mayo" High School, located in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador, participated in the study.A correlational study was carried out with this target groupto determine the relationship between the use of Educaplay and theiracademic performance.Two groups of students were formed, one of them used Educaplay and the other onekeptthe traditional methodology.The outcomesof the research highlight a statistically significant improvement(p<0.05) in testing scoresby the students who used Educaplay overthe traditional group.The conclusions reached in this studyindicate the importance of the study and use of gamification for the improvement of the teaching-learning process in Physics.
