Implementación de la gamificación como recurso didáctico para optimizar el aprendizaje de ecuaciones de segundo grado, en estudiantes de primero de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, entitled Use of gamification as an educational tool to improve the understanding of quadratic equations in first-year high school students, we examine how gamification can currently be used as a novel teaching method to encourage more active and participatory learning in mathematics. The study was conducted with 30 first-year high school students from the Luis Tufiño Educational Unit, using a non-experimental design with a quantitative approach complemented by questionnaires that were verified by specialists. The results were collected by applying a pre-test and post-test to assess the knowledge obtained through conventional classes. Students obtained an average score of 33.63. A post-test was then used to reinforce learning through the gamified class, demonstrating an increase in the average of 59.83. In conclusion, it was confirmed that gamification has a positive impact on the learning of equations, with a significance level of p = 0.001.
