El Game Based Learning (GBL) como metodología en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la asignatura de lengua y literatura en estudiantes de los 10mos EGB de la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional San Francisco

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the impact of Game-Based Learning (GBL) on the teaching and learning process of Language and Literature in tenth-grade students of General Basic Education at the Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional San Francisco. To this end, two groups were involved: class 10A and class 10B, each composed of 40 students. The research followed a mixed-methods approach with a quasi-experimental design, where the experimental group used digital tools with a game-based structure, while the control group continued with traditional instruction. Data collection techniques included surveys, interviews, and non-participant observation. The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group, particularly in reading comprehension, written production, autonomy, and motivation. A higher level of student engagement and a more dynamic learning experience were observed. The study highlights that GBL not only enhances academic performance but also promotes critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful learning, making it a methodological alternative applicable in various educational contexts.
