Abstract

Within the current investigation, the problem was based on identifying the reasons why the lack of interest on the part of the students of the first year of high school at the Alejandro Castro Benítez School, in the classes of the subject of mathematics, occurs. Based on this problem, a brief analysis was carried out, taking into account the new opportunities that technology offers, in this way the investigative process begins, looking for new tools that allow capturing attention, awakening interest and encouraging students to learn every day. further. A sample of 21 students was taken, belonging to the first year of high school, in order to know the essence of this problem, because they are the main actors, along with the teachers, of the teaching-learning processes that are carried out throughout the national territory. The research was carried out under a mixed approach, since both quantitative and qualitative approaches are those that have intervened in the search, analysis, organization of information, through observation, interview, surveys carried out, and according to the results obtained. a final conclusion has been reached. In addition, a comparative table was made, where I was able to learn about some platforms that participate in gamification as great tools that contribute to the teaching-learning processes, identifying their functions, accessibility, advantages and disadvantages, thus contributing to the help with the appropriate selection of the platform, which was used to work on the prototype. The comparison made led me to choose Genially as the platform to run my prototype, with two games: Dragon Match and Tetri Match, which were made based on questions, according to the study curriculum provided by the area teacher. Within experience I and II, I learned in depth what the reactions were to this new teaching method, receiving many positive criticisms from the students to the subject teacher, in addition to the results of the research highlighting that the use of Gamification within the teaching-learning processes caused a positive change, attracting the interest and curiosity of students to know and therefore discover more and more, this causes a perception that encourages and contributes to the growth of skills and abilities that were previously observed. stagnant.
