Diseño pedagógico de sistemas gamificados a través de narrativas digitales en la formación inicial del profesorado

Abstract

The technological disruption happened in the educational sphere has allowed the development of certain methodological models that emphasize students as an active element in their learning. These are considered emerging pedagogical approaches that refer to ideas (some still in the process of systematization) that have emerged around the use of digital technologies in education, intending to take advantage of their potential (communicative, informational, collaborative, interactive, creative and innovative) to generate new learning environments. Consequently, it becomes necessary to investigate both the disruptive methodological models and the didactic actions that are proposed around these pedagogical approaches. Therefore, the main aim of this Doctoral Thesis is the study of the process of instructional design, implementation and evaluation of a gamification system in the field of Higher Education, in the ICT Applied to Education subject of the Degree in Early Childhood Education from the Teacher Training College (University of Extremadura). For this purpose, a differentiated methodological approach is introduced for two specific processes: a systematic literature review (SLR) and a Design-Based Research (DBR). In this way, a multi-method research modality is established that responds to the principles of complementarity, through an integrative approach of mixed methodology. Through this process, it has been possible to determine the suitability of the implementation of gamified systems in the field of Higher Education through motivational and attentional indicators derived from the students' perception.
