Abstract
Gamification is an educational strategy that uses various dynamics such as games, competitions, rewards and feedback to motivate and integrate students into their training process through digital means. The main objective of the research is to determine the level of influence of gamification on the academic performance of tenth grade parallel "A" students of the Julio Isaac Espinosa Ochoa institution, in Unit No. 1 called Real Numbers of the Mathematics subject in the period 2024 - 2025. The method applied was inductive-deductive and to obtain the empirical material, an experimental group and a control group were used for the respective analysis. The significance value obtained is 0.053, which is higher than the alpha level of the research, which is 0.05. Under this result, the null hypothesis posed is accepted. Therefore, it is concluded that gamification does influence the academic performance of tenth-year parallel “A” students, because gamification has the potential to improve academic performance and its effectiveness depends on the design of each activity and the alignment with the learning objectives. Teachers are recommended to include gamified digital activities in the educational process of students, and it is suggested that they take urgent measures and implement inclusion strategies to combat the digital divide in order to ensure that all students have the same learning opportunities and can take advantage of the benefits of gamification.
