Influencia de la gamificación para mejorar el aprendizaje de las ecuaciones cuadráticas en estudiantes de Bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: This research is focused on evaluating the influence of gamification to improve the learning of quadratic equations in high school students; it was conducted in the Educational Unit Dr. José María Velasco Ibarra belonging to the canton El Guabo in the province of El Oro. The students who were part of the data collection process were the 28 students of the 1st year of General Unified High School parallel A . From this, methods such as inductive, deductive, analytical and hermeneutic were used, which were of great importance throughout the process; in addition, the survey technique was used and the questionnaire was used as an instrument; which was validated by experts in the area of mathematics. The approach used was quantitative, a quasi-experimental methodological design, with a descriptive-explanatory research scope. Finally, it was possible to prove that gamification does have an influence in improving the learning of quadratic equations, since a better academic performance was reflected by the students in the gamified class and not in the class with traditional methodology.
