Estrategias de aprendizaje de las ciencias sociales para estudiantes de décimo año con la aplicación Kahoot!

Abstract

The study proposes a methodology that integrates the Kahoot platform in the area of social sciences to improve teaching and learning. It focuses on developing digital gamification strategies for tenth year basic education students at the “Dr. Emilio Uzcátegui Garcia” Educational Unit. The primary goal is to use Kahoot as a tool to optimize students' understanding and interest in social science concepts. Specific objectives include selecting relevant social science topics, creating interactive quizzes in Kahoot that address these topics, and developing a guide and support materials for educators on how to effectively implement this methodology in the classroom. Techniques such as consulting experts in the use of Kahoot, bibliographic analysis on the effectiveness of digital gamification in learning, and direct observation are used to understand the needs and abilities of students in relation to the use of technology in the classroom. The methods used include bibliographic analysis, deductive analysis, qualitative approach and instructional design method. These methods assist in the selection of social studies topics relevant to third grade students, as well as the design and implementation of interactive quizzes in Kahoot that promote participatory and meaningful learning. The result of this proposal seeks to be a practical and effective tool for educators, providing them with guidance on how to use Kahoot effectively to promote more dynamic and attractive learning in the area of social sciences.
