Implementación de una página web gamificada para mejorar la concentración de los estudiantes de segundo año de bachillerato en la asignatura de Diseño web en el Colegio Dr. José Ochoa León

Abstract

This research is based on the design of the "Treasure Hunt" website to improve the concentration of students in the Web Design course. The website is designed in WIX, which allowed the interface and structure of "Treasure Hunt" to be created as a web page. The research was conducted with second-year high school students at Dr. José Ochoa León School in the city of Pasaje, El Oro province. A quantitative and qualitative research approach was chosen. The instruments used to demonstrate the website's effectiveness and improved student concentration in the classroom were based on a survey conducted with the subject tutor and students, with favorable results consistent with the research objectives. The implementation of this research report proposed the implementation of gamification tools in addition to the use of the student scavenger hunt website. Therefore, an active teaching method was employed in the classroom. Furthermore, the students' educational needs were discussed with the tutor, thus addressing the content that presented the greatest difficulty in understanding. For this reason, the topics chosen for the scavenger hunt website considered important aspects such as interactive presentations and gamification tools that could increase student motivation and interest in the subject. It is worth mentioning that the methodology used to execute the prototype was the ADDIE methodology, which involves the creation, use, and evaluation of the educational prototype, strengthening the website's content. Consequently, a survey and an interview with the subject teacher were conducted. This initial approach was carried out in person, where the research was conducted. Aspects and suggestions were shared with the aim of improving the website's design, images, and content. After the experience with the professor, the recommendations were taken into account. This led to a second interaction with the students, where the prototype was demonstrated and evaluated to contribute to the research objectives, such as promoting collaborative work on the website as a gamification tool. Consequently, the students responded favorably to the prototype, thus achieving the expected results.
