Incidencia de la gamificación mediante Quizizz en la comprensión de progresiones aritméticas en estudiantes de segundo año de Bachillerato General Unificado (BGU)

Abstract

Abstract: Gamification is a methodological strategy that integrates game dynamics into educational contexts to enhance motivation and learning. Therefore, the present research aimed to evaluate the impact of gamification through Quizizz on the understanding of arithmetic progressions among second-year students of the Unified General Baccalaureate (BGU) at the Pedro Vicente Maldonado Educational Unit. To this end, a quasi-experimental study was developed with a quantitative approach and a sample of 27 students divided into two groups. A pretest and posttest were administered to measure academic performance in parallel, and a satisfaction survey was conducted to determine student perceptions of the platform. The most significant results showed that the experimental group that worked with the platform improved significantly compared to the control group. Participants also expressed a very favorable level of acceptance and a substantial contribution to improving motivation, attention, and learning. Therefore, Quizizz, as a gamification tool, positively impacts the understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts such as arithmetic progressions.
