La gamificación en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la asignatura de inglés de los estudiantes de subnivel medio de la Unidad Educativas Lic. Carlos Vélez Verduga.

Abstract

Gamification is considered an innovative and effective tool to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. Gamification involves the use of games in non-game situations. This project has been investigated to improve English teaching among middle-level students at Unidad Educativa Lic. Carlos Vélez Verduga. The research seeks to understand how this technique can increase motivation and academic performance. Language teaching has been very structured and, at times, boring for students. This project proposes that by incorporating game dynamics, student interest can be better captured, fostering a more active and participatory learning environment. The relevance of the project lies in the need to seek new teaching methods that are attractive to students. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach, collecting data through surveys from 90 students and 4 English teachers to evaluate the impact of gamification. Additionally, elements such as rewards, challenges, and achievement levels not only increased student interest but also promoted important skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Gamification is presented as an effective methodology to improve English learning, providing a more attractive and meaningful educational experience. This approach could be adopted by other educational institutions looking to innovate in teaching and adapt to the demands of modern education.
