Estrategias de gamificación para desarrollar la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de sexto año de educación general básica

Abstract

Abstract: The research project, titled Gamification Strategies to Develop Reading Comprehension in Sixth-Year Basic General Education Students, implemented a gamified instrument called "Path to Reading," the purpose of which was to enhance reading comprehension skills through the use of non-digital gamification, aimed at a group of 18 sixth-year elementary school students. The methodology used a mixed-method approach, with a quasi-experimental design and an explanatory scope that allowed for a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon. The study group used a single study group, using a pretest with a diagnostic assessment to determine the students' initial level of reading comprehension, and a posttest with a final assessment that allowed for demonstrating the results and concluding on the feasibility and application of this strategy in classroom settings. The main findings demonstrated that the technology-free gamified methodology had a positive impact on students, demonstrating increased motivation in reading habits and improving their ability to understand implicit messages in the readings.
