Estrategias de enseñanza basadas en la gamificación: una propuesta didáctica para el área de matemáticas en 4° año de educación general básica.

Abstract

Education is one of the fundamental pillars for the development of society, especially in the stages of schooling, such as General Basic Education, and even more so if different strategies are used to strengthen the learning process of students. The general purpose of this research was to identify teaching strategies based on gamification as a didactic proposal in the area of mathematics in the 4th year of EGB, through the use of digital tools, in order to motivate the meaningful learning of the students. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology based on a descriptive approach was used, which allowed the analysis of the information collected in statistical bases, using the data collected through the use of a standardized questionnaire for teachers and students of the Efrata Educational Unit. The results showed that education in the area of mathematics can be strengthened in a better way with the use of technological tools that allow children to play and learn simultaneously with adequate motivation. These results led to the creation of a manual of strategies based on gamification for the teaching of mathematics in students in the fourth year of general basic education. In conclusion, this research demonstrated that, with the use of appropriate technological tools, mathematics can be easier and more fun to teach.
