La gamificación en la educación de la química: una revisión bibliográfica

Abstract

El trabajo presenta la evolución del concepto de gamificación y su aplicación en la enseñanza de la química. El objetivo principal es identificar las estrategias más utilizadas para su implementación y evaluar su impacto en la motivación de los estudiantes, el trabajo colaborativo y el desempeño académico. Para ello, se realizó una revisión de 40 estudios publicados entre los años 2000 y 2023, consultando bases de datos reconocidas como Scopus, Web of Science y Google Scholar. La selección de los artículos se basó en su pertinencia para la enseñanza de la química y el enfoque metodológico, con el fin de evaluar una muestra de la literatura reciente enfocada en el área de interés y su posterior clasificación por metodología implementada y el tipo de resultados obtenidos. Se emplearon herramientas de análisis documental PRISMA, garantizando mayor rigurosidad en el proceso de selección y análisis. En el proceso empleado se abarcaron estudios empíricos y sistemáticos, incluyendo datos de corte cuantitativo y cualitativo. Los hallazgos revelan que la gamificación incrementa la motivación intrínseca entre un 60% y un 80 % de los casos, promueve el aprendizaje colaborativo mediante dinámicas de competencia y cooperación, y mejora el rendimiento académico entre un 5% y un 20%. En conclusión, se intenta responder la pregunta: ¿Cómo ha evolucionado el uso de estímulos externos en la enseñanza de la química entre los años 2000 a 2023: un caso de estudio de la gamificación? Y se plantea que la gamificación constituye una estrategia efectiva en la mayoría de los casos para innovar en la enseñanza de la química, aunque se requiere más investigación longitudinal, diseños pedagógicos más flexibles y métricas estandarizadas para fortalecer su implementación.

The paper presents the evolution of the gamification concept and its application in chemistry teaching. The main objective is to identify the most used strategies for its implementation and to evaluate its impact on student motivation, collaborative work and academic performance. For this purpose, a review of 40 studies published between 2000 and 2023 was carried out, consulting recognized databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The selection of articles was based on their relevance to chemistry teaching and methodological approach, in order to evaluate a sample of recent literature focused on the area of interest and its subsequent classification by methodology implemented and type of results obtained. PRISMA documentary analysis tools were used, ensuring greater rigor in the selection and analysis process. The process used included empirical and systematic studies, including quantitative and qualitative data. The findings reveal that gamification increases intrinsic motivation between 60% and 80% of the cases, promotes collaborative learning through competition and cooperation dynamics, and improves academic performance between 5% and 20%. In conclusion, we attempt to answer the question: How has the use of external stimuli in chemistry teaching evolved between 2000 and 2023: a case study of gamification? And it is posited that gamification constitutes an effective strategy in most cases to innovate in chemistry teaching, although more longitudinal research, more flexible pedagogical designs, and standardized metrics are required to strengthen its implementation.
