Abstract

Abstract: The present research work helped us to deduce that in recent years the educational system has experienced relevant changes in terms of teaching methodologies, such as gamification. Therefore, this study will analyze how implementing gamification in teaching-learning classrooms improves the academic and motivational performance of fourth and fifth year students of basic education, in the mathematics component, especially in the learning of multiplication tables. The research is based on a mixed, qualitative and quantitative approach, and a descriptive and explorative type of research. The study was made up of eight teachers who teach elementary and middle school classes, to whom a survey based on the didactics of gamification was applied, and to twenty-five students, with whom we used a diagnostic evaluation (pre-test), to to know the level of knowledge they have on the topic, then gamification was applied and a new evaluation was carried out (post-test), to verify the effectiveness of the stimulus applied. The results obtained show the progress in the academic performance of the students, which is why we conclude that gamification is an active and effective teaching methodology, which is why it is recommended to apply it in educational institutions.
