Técnica en gamificación para el aprendizaje de ciencias naturales del 7mo año en la Unidad Educativa Boliva Cárdenas de Sánchez

Abstract

Gamification is an educational strategy that has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to make learning more fun and effective, especially for children. It consists of applying elements and mechanics of games in learning contexts, which motivates students to actively participate and develop skills more effectively. Next, we will explore how gamification can be used for children's learning. Firstly, gamification can turn the learning process into an exciting and entertaining experience. Children are often more willing to participate in educational activities if they are attracted to them, and elements of play, such as friendly competition, rewards, and challenges, can make learning more engaging. For example, a math game in which children earn points for answering questions correctly can turn math lessons into an exciting adventure. Furthermore, gamification encourages children's intrinsic motivation. When students feel rewarded and recognized for their achievements, they feel more motivated to continue learning and improving themselves. This is particularly beneficial for children, as it helps them develop a love of learning that can last a lifetime.
