diseño de un mundo abierto gamificado utilizando unity 3d como herramienta de aprendizaje en la asignatura de matemáticas

Abstract

The present research work is based on the use of a gamified open world, in which positive results were obtained from its application within the educational environment, that is why its application is considered useful within the learning process of students, in the same way that it allows the teacher to promote knowledge in students from the execution and resolution of activities that are within the open world SAMERI. The research was aimed at students in the seventh year of General Basic Education in the subject of mathematics belonging to the school "María Piedad Castillo de Leví", located in the city of Arenillas, where the gamified open world was applied within the computer laboratory with the objective of developing the students' knowledge. The development of the prototype was guided by the ADDIE instructional model, facilitating the creation and structuring of the SAMERI open world for learning the subject of mathematics through the analysis and development of each of its phases, as well as the use of tools such as Unity, freepik and Unity Asset Store allowed to complement the development of the open world from scratch. The quantitative and qualitative methodology was used, which made it possible to have a complete understanding of the research problem, as well as to assimilate the results obtained in the experiences carried out in the host educational institution. During the development of Experience I, the prototype was presented to the teacher in charge of the mathematics subject, in such a way that an interview was conducted in which he mentioned his satisfaction, suggesting changes to the activities in order to increase their complexity. Likewise, in Experience II, the students had the possibility of showing and interacting in the open world SAMERI, in which the pretest and posttest were carried out and the result was that initially not all the students were aware of the open world, however, when they felt the prototype, it was evident that they welcomed it. In conclusion, the implementation of the gamified open world has a positive impact on learning the subject of mathematics, because it allows the student to explore the contents, and in turn, perform the proposed activities, promoting autonomy by relating what is learned with the activities presented within it.
