Uso de la gamificación digital en la enseñanza de matemáticas y su relación con el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de Octavo Año de EGB de la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional San José De La Sall

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes the relationship and effectiveness of the active digital gamification methodology in teaching mathematics and its impact on the academic performance of eighth-grade students at the San José De La Salle Fiscomisional Educational Unit. The research was conducted using a correlational design, with a control group (using traditional methodology) and an experimental group (using digital gamification). Educational games were implemented using technological resources to foster student motivation and active participation. Data were obtained through surveys and academic evaluations, both pre- and post-implementation of the activities. An increase in academic performance and motivation was observed, and the results of both groups were compared quantitatively. The study highlights the benefits of using gamification in improving academic performance, student engagement, and the importance of teacher training for proper implementation and replication within the institution.
