El uso de herramientas de gamificación en entornos virtuales de aprendizaje en la enseñanza de Lengua y Literatura para estudiantes de Básica Media

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, one of the main problems in primary education is the lack of student motivation to understand the curriculum. In this context, this study analyzes the use of gamification in teaching Language and Literature to sixth-grade students as a motivational strategy for learning in a virtual environment. The objective of the study was to analyze the impact of gamification as a motivational tool in the learning process. The study was designed with a quantitative approach, with a pre-experimental, cross-sectional descriptive design, using descriptive, deductive, and statistical methods. Data collection methods included a literature review and a questionnaire. A pedagogical proposal based on gamification tools was designed and implemented, integrating game dynamics, immediate feedback, and interactive activities aligned with the curriculum content. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in student interest, the development of linguistic skills, and interaction in virtual environments.
