Resumen

The main objective of this study is to analyze how teachers adopt gamified practices for didactic purposes to achieve positive behaviors in the active motivation of students. The study was carried out in tambos in the Arequipa and Huancayo regions, and a questionnaire was administered to students to validate the information. The study also observed the degree of interest or rejection that the methodology generates. The methodology used was non-experimental and had two well-defined phases. First, an exploratory factor analysis was performed, which aimed to condense the information in original variables into smaller series. Second, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. The results of the study show that the viability of dynamic resources of competition and challenges has a positive influence on the inclusion of students in gamification. The partial least squares structural equation model was calculated for these data based on an exploratory-confirmatory model and using SmartPLS version 4.0.
