Abstract

The present work presents a low reading comprehension in the students of the fourth year of elementary school “Luis Amando Ugarte Lemus”, located in Machala-El Oro, therefore, it is proposed the implementation of a mobile game with gamification as a strategy to improve reading comprehension in the area of Language and Literature, directed by Marjorie Cabanilla. The initial diagnosis that is evident in the educational environment is 54.05% corresponding to the elementary level who have a deficiency in reading comprehension, i.e. they have difficulty in being able to differentiate the characters, identify the main and secondary idea of a text within a reading, however, parents do not provide the necessary support at home. Gamification is an innovative strategy where different dynamic games are applied to obtain the greatest interest and motivation from the students. The research method used is a mixed approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. As experience I an interview with the tutor teacher of fourth parallel “c” is conducted and in experience II a pre- and post-test survey is implemented directed to students along with the presentation of the mobile game “JY Adventures” developed in Android Studio with a Kotlin programming language, in addition an ADDIE methodology is applied that carries a system design composed of different parameters that are: analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate. This game has seven sections and a reward system to keep them more motivated in terms of readings and corresponding activities. The specific objectives of the research are the following: To develop a mobile game platform with gamification elements, to implement gamification strategies within the mobile game, and to evaluate the impact of the mobile game on reading engagement and comprehension, using data tracking and analysis methods. The results obtained in the post-test after the presentation of the game show a great reception with 80% of the students mentioning that JY Adventures helps them to understand the texts. In addition, 63.3% think that the activities such as: questions, crossword, multiple choice, sentence correction, among others, are very fun, one of the future improvements is to have competitiveness in terms of being able to play two partners at the same time, develop more levels and avatar in identifying whether it is a boy or girls, so it is suggested a favorable acceptance of the tool provided at the elementary level. Finally, it is recommended that teachers are in constant training in the use of technology as today is constantly changing, implement our strategies and methodology in all educational needs that arise in the classroom obtaining comprehensive results in terms of development and training of students.
