In the context of the Qatar World Cup Final<\/strong>we thought of reflecting on football as a sport. But before being a sport (with all its inherent values), it is a game. And the beauty of the game is that it brings with it a value that is undeniable for those who play: fun. No fun, no play<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what if we extrapolate this same reflection to our school? Is it possible to imagine a school that is school as long as it is fun? What if we learn by playing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is gamification?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gamification is a technique which consists of transferring the game mechanics<\/strong> to the teaching-learning processes<\/strong>. Although thinking about games as an educational resource is not new (authors such as Piaget<\/a> (1956) and Vigotsky (1976) mention it in their works), gamification, as a concept, has been gaining momentum in the educational environment in recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, thanks to the advances in neuroscience<\/strong> The importance of motivation as a key factor in education has been highlighted by the driver of learning<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic and the enforced immersion of technology in the world of education<\/strong>forced institutions to review their teaching strategies. Innovation and creativity became the tools par excellence to deal with the constant demotivation with which students were going through their virtual schooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gamification is more than a game<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gamification<\/strong>The task then is to motivate the learner. But not motivate as one who encourages someone to do something (extrinsic motivation), but rather motivate through involvement in the learning process<\/strong> (intrinsic motivation). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A motivated learner is a learner who is cognitively, emotionally and behaviourally engaged in his or her learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, consequently, results in a more active, autonomous and participative learner, who puts his or her skills and competences into play in order to solve the challenges he or she faces along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At IMMUNE Technology Institute we are keen to provide our students with the richest experience possible in relation to their professional development<\/a>. It is no coincidence that one of our three pillars, our famous three \"EEA\" (Employability, Experience and Entertainment<\/strong>), responds precisely to the issue at hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, in our Software Development Engineering programme, students face daily challenges and challenges, with different levels of complexity. Through these, they gain points in various areas (technical and non-technical) that are essential for the professional path of a software developer (Gamification graph<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This resource allows us, among other things, to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Breaking the taboo on error and taking it as part of the learning process<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • Promoting competitive and cooperative activities, which translates into more participatory classrooms<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • To have visibility of the development of competences and skills<\/strong> of each pupil, as the points obtained function as a rubric, awarding feedback <\/em>The immediate process that each one of them is carrying out.<\/li>
  • And, in relation to the first question that we asked ourselves and shared in this article, that our students enjoy<\/strong> and have fun learning.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
