Modelo de un sistema de Leaderboard para el seguimiento de profesores mediante los resultados de las calificaciones de los estudiantes

Abstract

This study delves into the challenges that university students encounter during their daily routines and how these challenges influence their academic achievements. It proposes the implementation of a leaderboard system as a viable solution to stimulate student motivation and enhance their overall performance. The primary objective revolves around the creation and modeling of a leaderboard system aimed at monitoring teachers based on student grades. Specific goals encompass an in-depth analysis of literature concerning leaderboard systems, the development of a unique system for generating academic rankings, the integration of this system as a motivational incentive, and the assessment of its effectiveness within programming courses. The methodology used is empirical-analytical with a quasi-experimental approach, using digital surveys directed to 48 teachers of engineering careers at the Salesian Polytechnic University, Guayaquil. Furthermore, the study explores the concept of motivation within education and the application of gamification techniques, emphasizing how the implementation of leaderboard systems can propel students towards goal setting and foster social comparison to augment their motivation.
