La influencia de la gamificación como metodología activa en el proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes de educación básica.

Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on identifying the influence of gamification as an active methodology on the learning process of elementary school students. It aims to evaluate the impact of this methodology on content learning. The research was conducted at the Armed Forces Educational Unit FAE No. 5, located in the city of Latacunga, Cotopaxi province. Two groups were involved: an experimental group, which applied gamified strategies, and a control group, which maintained the traditional teaching methodology. Pre- and post-tests were administered to measure the impact of gamification, along with satisfaction surveys to assess student perceptions and motivation. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group's performance, demonstrating that gamification, in addition to promoting content learning, also increases students' motivation, interest, and engagement with mathematics content. The research successfully confirmed and met its objectives, demonstrating that the gamification methodology is an effective strategy for enhancing and strengthening teaching.
