Gamfication strategies applied to the diagnosis of the pedagogical incorporation of ict in a scholarly community

Abstract

This paper describes the results of the investigation “Diagnosis   of   the   pedagogical   incorporation   of   Information    and    Communication    Technologies    (ICT) in the academic community of the Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores from a gamification strategy   perspective.   (Preliminary   study)”.   The   research    is    a    quantitative    descriptive    study    focused  on  conducting  an  assessment  of  the  level  of  technological  maturity  and  competence  within  the academic community. As for the methodological approach,  surveys  and  interviews  supported  by  gamification strategies were used in order to help with  the retention  and  participation  of  research  subjects.  Results  showed  that  gamification strategies   are  effective.   It   also   illustrates   that   students  have  clear  and  comprehensive  knowledge  about  the different  levels  of  digital  maturity  when  incorporating  ICT  in  teaching  contexts,  but  the  level  of  content  creation  and  innovation  is  low,  which  is  something  that  would  not  be  expected  from  individuals  with  greater  ownership  of  digital  culture.
