Efecto de la gamificación mediante el uso de la herramienta kahoot en el aprendizaje de segmentos dentro de la geometría plana.

Abstract

Abstract: The study of plane geometry and in particular the concept of segments presents significant challenges for students beginning their university studies. The abstract nature of the concepts together with the low motivation and interest of students lead to unfavorable academic results that are reflected in low pass rates. In this context, the objective of this research is to analyze the effect of gamification through the use of Kahoot in the learning of segments in students of the leveling course of the National Polytechnic School. The research was framed in a positivist paradigm, mixed approach, cross-sectional and descriptive methodology. It was developed in three stages: initial evaluation of knowledge (pre-test), application of the didactic strategy using Kahoot and a post-test to evaluate results. The information collected was analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results were consistent with previous research on the use of Kahoot, observing a better predisposition on the part of the students to collaborative work and improvement in their motivation and academic performance.
