“La gamificación como estrategia para la enseñanza de la división en el Área de Matemática”

Abstract

This research entitled Gamification as a strategy for teaching division in the area of Mathematics, aims to strengthen the teaching of division between natural numbers through a didactic guide based on the gamification strategy for the sixth year of EGB of the Antonio Ávila Maldonado Educational Unit, given that, during the pre-professional practices, difficulties were detected in this arithmetic operation. For this reason, within the theoretical references, relevant concepts on gamification and didactic guide are taken into account. This project has an interpretive paradigm with a qualitative approach. To collect valuable information for the investigation, the following were used: field diaries, interviews, a Likert scale survey, a diagnostic test, and a final evaluation test. After the intervention, a better academic performance in the addressed skill was evidenced in the students, however, it was not possible for all of them to obtain the maximum qualification proposed by the Ministry of Education (10/10).
