Estrategias de Gamificación no digitales para la enseñanza de matemáticas en estudiantes de Tercer Año de Educación Básica

Abstract

The study of this methodological proposal, aimed at teachers and 38 third-grade students, focused on the pedagogical and didactic aspects, aimed to investigate non-digital gamification strategies aimed at improving the teaching and learning of mathematics. The objective is to develop analog gamification strategies to optimize the teaching and learning of mathematics in third-year students at the "Flora Salazar de Loor" Public Educational Unit, focusing on interactive and playful techniques that do not require digital resources. The specific objectives of the proposal are: to select the fundamental concepts and topics of mathematics for third-year students that lend themselves effectively to be integrated into analog games and playful activities, to create a variety of non-digital games that effectively incorporate the selected mathematical concepts to enhance students' understanding and interest, and to develop a guide and support materials for educators. Techniques such as consultation with experts, bibliographic analysis, and direct observation helped to visualize the limitation of digital resources and students' difficulty in understanding abstract concepts. These findings revealed the need for innovative strategies to improve learning in mathematics, such as analog gamification.
