Influencia de la Gamificación en la Educación Básica Primaria

Abstract

In recent years, school dropouts have increased exponentially from an early age, resulting in frustration, depression and bad lifestyle habits. Which leaves a strong connotation within the educational system and its methodologies, since traditional methodologies continue to be used, which are far from the reality that operates today, leaving aside new and innovative methodologies that contribute to human evolution, such as gamification. Despite this, the use of this methodology depends on the teachers, students and the knowledge surrounding this concept, and therefore the answer is: What is the influence that gamification currently has within the teaching-learning process on fifth-grade students and teachers? from elementary school? To this end, three key objectives were established, first an investigation of the literature between the years 2011-2023 around gamification in primary basic education, the second about the perceptions that teachers and students have at the Santiago Mayor School in Bogotá and finally the development of a gamified proposal that contributes to the educational system and its application within classrooms. For this purpose, a qualitative approach, an ethnographic method, and instruments such as interviews, first-level matrices, comparison and trends are proposed, where it was possible to identify that gamification is not perceived within the current teaching-learning process, the perceptions of fifth grade teachers are far from the real concept of gamification and fifth grade students do not perceive gamification in any class, nor do they see any relationship between their tastes and the methodologies that are proposed in the educational field. Finally, this research prepares a manual on the use of gamification that allows its application in an easy and convenient way for any teacher within the educational field
