Abstract

RESUMEN En este artículo describimos un modelo instruc-cional configurable y computable basado en ele-mentos de gamificación, así como su evaluación empírica, utilizando el área de ingeniería de software como el ámbito de aplicación. Com-paramos dos tratamientos: la dinámica tradi-cional de utilizar un documento en papel para la prueba de desempeño y el uso de un entorno virtual de aprendizaje configurado con base en el modelo citado. Las variables dependientes consideradas fueron el tiempo y el puntaje. Del análisis estadístico, concluimos que los estudian-tes no presentan diferencias significativas en los puntajes obtenidos en ambos tratamientos; sin embargo, el tiempo resultó ser una variable con diferencias importantes. Palabras clave Abstract This article describes a configurable and computable instructional model based on gamifica-tion elements. The empirical evaluation of the model is also reported using the software engineering area as the scope of application. In the experimental study two treatments were compared: the traditional dynamics of using a paper document for the Performance Test, and the use of a Virtual Learning Environment configured based in the model; the dependent variables considered were time and score. From the statistical analysis it was possible to conclude that the students did not present significant differences in the scores obtained in both treatments; however , the time turned out to be a variable with significant differences.
