Uso de la gamificación y su incidencia en la evaluación formativa de operaciones básicas con números enteros en los estudiantes de octavo año .

Abstract

Abstract: This study addresses the problem of low student motivation and participation in learning processes, which limits the development of meaningful competencies in the classroom. The main objective was to analyze the influence of gamification on academic performance and student motivation. With the aim of analyzing the influence of gamification on students' academic performance and motivation, a quasi-experimental quantitative methodology was used, with the participation of a control group and an experimental group of students within the EB. This intervention involved the incorporation of gamification, such as the use of points, rewards, and badges linked to curricular activities over a given period. The results showed that the students in the experimental group had a significant increase in active participation, content retention, and willingness to do group work, in contrast to the control group. Additionally, improvements were observed in self-perception of achievement and attitudes toward school tasks. In conclusion, gamification emerges as an effective pedagogical strategy to enhance motivation and learning, fostering an inclusive and dynamic classroom environment.
