Using Gamification Technique to Increase Capacity in the Resolution of Problems During the Process Teaching and Learning Programming

摘要

This research paper presents the results of an experience implemented in the Academic Department of Computational Systems (DASC, by its initials in Spanish) of the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur (UABCS, by its initials in Spanish) is presented, where a gamification technique was implemented in the classroom, in an introductory course of programming, as support to increase the capacity in the resolution from problems. An activity created with gamification principles was designed for development of the problem-solving competence. The technique was implemented with a group of 14 students from the second semester of Software Development Engineering (IDS, by its initials in Spanish).
