La Gamificación como Estrategia para la alfabetización inicial

Abstract

Over time the conception of writing has been transformed, originally it was conceived as a mechanical skill that only required the memorization of the sound of the letters and the exercise of the conventional rules of grammar. The concept goes much further than this and highlights the communicative function of written language with complete and formed words, emphasizing the social practices of language. The objective of this documentary research was to reflect on the importance and use of gamification in a Primary Education group implemented in the teaching-learning of initial literacy; This implies that the person in charge of the group reflects on their teaching practice and changes traditional teaching methods or strategies, obtaining in the students a rapid and effective appropriation in literacy. The methodology used consisted of a documentary analysis, as well as the use of conceptual cartography to guide the work to be carried out. The results obtained allowed to show the effectiveness of the strategy implemented during the initial student training process. It was concluded that this learning technique transfers the mechanics of the game to the educational field using digital tools as well as methods, strategies and resources in initial literacy, providing multiple advantages, such as generating learning environments that attract the attention of children and a content facilitation.
