Gamificación analógica como recurso pedagógico para favorecer las destrezas de aprendizaje en matemáticas en los estudiantes de décimo año de educación básica superior de la Unidad Educativa San Jacinto del Búa

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to analyze the impact of an analog gamification strategy as a pedagogical resource to strengthen learning skills in Mathematics among tenth-grade students of Basic General Education at San Jacinto del Búa Educational Unit. The study was based on an institutional diagnosis that revealed limited access to and pedagogical use of technological tools, as well as difficulties in understanding contents that require logical reasoning and conceptual mastery. From a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design, an experimental group and a control group were established, applying pretest and posttest instruments to assess academic performance. The methodological proposal integrated structured playful elements within organized didactic sequences, promoting active participation, cooperative work, and mathematical argumentation. The results showed significant improvements in the intervened group, demonstrating that analog gamification constitutes a viable and contextualized alternative to strengthen learning in environments with technological limitations.
