Videojuegos educativos y su influencia en las habilidades cognitivas de matemáticas en estudiantes de educación básica
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los videojuegos educativos han despertado un interés creciente en la investigación educativa por su capacidad para promover la participación activa y el aprendizaje significativo, especialmente en matemáticas, donde se enfrentan desafíos globales relacionados con el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas esenciales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la influencia del uso de videojuegos educativos en el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas relacionadas con las matemáticas en estudiantes de octavo de básica de la Unidad Educativa “Fray Enrique Vacas Galindo”, en la ciudad de Puyo, provincia de Pastaza. La metodología adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño no experimental y transversal, trabajando con una muestra censal de 30 estudiantes. Se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado validado y con alta confiabilidad. Los resultados destacaron una percepción positiva hacia el uso de videojuegos educativos, evidenciándose mejoras significativas en habilidades como razonamiento lógico y memoria operativa. Los análisis estadísticos confirmaron una correlación positiva fuerte (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) entre el uso de estas herramientas y el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas. Además, los participantes coincidieron en la importancia de incorporar videojuegos en estrategias pedagógicas innovadoras. Se concluye que los videojuegos educativos son herramientas efectivas para mejorar el aprendizaje matemático, recomendándose su implementación para fomentar un aprendizaje significativo y dinámico.
