La gamificación como estrategia didáctica para la enseñanza de valores crsitianos en la ERE

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the use of gamification as a didactic strategy to strengthen the teaching of Christian values in School Religious Education (ERE), specifically in middle school students of the Corazón de María Fiscomisional Educational Unit. The methodology used was quasi-experimental with a quantitative approach and a comparative descriptive level using two groups (experimental and control) with application of gamified and traditional classes respectively. The GAMEX Scale was applied to measure the gamified experience and a series of cases evaluated with rubrics to assess the acquisition of Christian values compared by means of the T Student test. The experimental group, exposed to gamified strategies, obtained a higher average academic performance (M = 14.16; SD = 0.57) compared to the control group (M = 10.49; SD = 0.74), it was also evidenced, through the GAMEX questionnaire, high levels of motivation, creativity and absorption during learning (80% fun, 60% absorption, 65% creativity).It is concluded that gamification is an effective strategy for teaching values in ERE, by promoting active, autonomous and meaningful learning.
