Gamificación de los contenidos socioculturales de un curso de ELE en inmersión para adolescentes - Dialnet. EspañolEl presente artículo es el resultado del proyecto final del Experto en la Enseñanza de ELE a Niños y Adolescentes (Universidad de Barcelona, 2015) realizado bajo la dirección de Vicenta González. En él, se propone gamificar el proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje a alumnos adolescentes que realizan un curso de español en inmersión de dos semanas. Específicamente, los objetivos de enseñanza que se pretenden gamificar son los relacionados con los hábitos y comportamientos socioculturales. Planteamos aprovechar el potencial pedagógico de dicho contexto de inmersión lingüística y cultural sumado a la gamificación que pretende conseguir la motivación y la implicación de los alumnos en su propio proceso de aprendizaje.Hemos optado por un enfoque por proyectos que puede desarrollarse en paralelo a los contenidos del curso y que fomentará en los alumnos el desarrollo de la autonomía del aprendizaje y de la competencia intercultural.
Study: Adaptive, gamified approach can boost math scores. By eSchool News Students using Front Row’s adaptive, gamified technology increased end-of-year test scores by nearly 10 percentage points over those who did not. A new study from WestEd, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research agency, commissioned by Front Row Education, found that students using the adaptive, gamified and data-drive technology showed greater mathematics achievement outcomes when compared with students who did not.
The study included more than 450 kindergarten, first and second grade students in a rural school, and is based on student scores on the Northwest Evaluation Association’s’ (NWEA) Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) in mathematics.
