El uso de la gamificación y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico del tema de medidas de tendencia central para datos no agrupados con un enfoque basado en competencias

Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of gamification on the learning of measures of central tendency for ungrouped data, using a competency-based approach, among students in the intensive high school program at the Hermano Ángel Pastrana Corral school. The research is pre-experimental with a mixed-methods approach and a sample of 28 students. It was conducted using a pre-test and a post-test, the same tests administered at different times, and the difference between the two assessments was analyzed. Data analysis was performed using a non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test (W) to compare the two measurement points. The significance values &#8203;&#8203;(p < 0.05) are lower than the established significance level (&#945; = 0.05), indicating significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted: that the use of gamification and its impact on academic performance in the subject of measures of central tendency for ungrouped data with a competency-based approach impacts academic performance.
