La gamificación como herramienta académica para incentivar el hábito lector en estudiantes de bachillerato del Liceo Panamericano

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the use of gamification as an academic tool to encourage reading habits among high school students at Liceo Panamericano, in response to the low interest in reading identified in the educational context. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach with descriptive and explanatory scope, supported by the application of initial and final diagnostic instruments to assess students motivation and reading behavior. As its main contribution, the study designed and implemented the educational innovation proposal Desafío Literario Panamericano, which integrates gamified dynamics, reading challenges, and a participatory experience. The results show an increase in reading motivation, as well as a more positive attitude toward literary activities. It is concluded that gamification constitutes an appropriate didactic strategy to strengthen reading habits at the high school level and to enrich pedagogical practices in the area of Language and Literature.
