Propuesta de gamificación de contenidos de Estudios Sociales para estudiantes de Octavo Año EGB

Abstract

Abstract: The Information Society prevailing in all areas of life, has produced a dizzying change, and education is not the exception, hence the called change of the educational paradigm, which is based on the creation of a new educational model, that responds to the needs and expectations of the digital learners we have in our classroom today. This need has given rise to the so-called active methodologies. that seek to generate in students the necessary motivation for the development of their own learning. This proposal is based on gamification as a learning technique, the challenge of introducing active methodologies to students, that generate dynamic and meaningful learning, where the use of technology needs to be integrated into the teaching practice. Gamification is also a motivating element, that uses the elements of the game to create a different learning scenario, that responds to the learning preferences of our students, their individualities, interests, abilities, and needs. The teaching role is modified in its entirety, whose characteristics focus on a teacher who is a facilitator, guide, motivator, and counselor, where the student is the center of teaching action. Today we have a series of online platforms or applications that allow us to gamify all types of content, in this proposal, the use of the Classcraft platform is proposed, which provides the opportunity to create a playful class and a classroom with a non-traditional environment.
