La gamificación: una estrategia pedagógica para la autorregulación emocional en estudiantes de quinto de primaria del Colegio Agustiniano Floridablanca

Abstract

This project investigates the effectiveness of gamification as a tool for helping children manage their emotions, Promoting positive emotional growth through fun activities. By integrating game elements such as challenges, rewards, and narratives, the approach aims to teach children how to recognize, understand, and regulate their emotions in an enjoyable and interactive way. Gamification creates safe, stimulating environments where children can confront emotions like frustration, sadness, or anxiety in a controlled and guided manner. Through specially designed games, children learn ways to manage their emotions, solve problems, and understand others, all while staying motivated and involved. This method also enhances social and communication skills by encouraging teamwork, cooperation, and positive peer interactions. Additionally, continuous positive reinforcement and progress tracking provide ongoing feedback on emotional management, boosting children’s self- esteem and confidence. By incorporating game mechanics such as points, levels, badges, and instant feedback, the platform enables students to develop socio-emotional skills in an interactive, rewarding manner. The web-based platform fosters a meaningful learning experience, allowing students to engage more deeply in their personal development. The project further emphasizes the benefits of gamification in personalizing learning, offering children the opportunity to progress at their own pace and according to their individual needs. It also promotes inclusivity, creating a learning environment where mistakes are viewed some opportunities for growth, ultimately enhancing self-confidence and shaping positive attitudes toward learning.
