Gamification as a strategy for terching mathematics

Abstract

The objective of this research was to propose Gamification as a strategy for teaching mathematics at the “Jorge Rodríguez” High School. Supported by the approaches of authors such as Educación 3.0, Almeida-Cruz, M. (2020), Beltrán, J. (2017), Zapata, Z. (2019), Golan P., (2022), among others. Through projective research, with a field design, not experimental-transactional; the population made up of 6 teachers in the area of mathematics. Considering the finite population, we worked with a population census. To collect the information, the survey technique was used; the instrument was a dichotomous questionnaire with closed answers of twenty-four (24) items. Its validation by expert judgments and its very high reliability coefficient (Kuder Richarsond= 0.87) Descriptive statistics are used as a data analysis and interpretation technique. From which it is concluded that the teachers of the institution know very little about the strategy, even though some of the indicators of its objective, tool and scope in opportunities reflect use of some of them, without the knowledge that it is part of a strategy, failing to perceive the maximum benefit of achieving interest, motivation, ease and achieving the interest and motivation of students, technology is very rarely used for teaching, an indispensable tool for the application of gamification, which is why the application is recommended, evaluation and control of the proposal designed in this research for her.
