“…Afianza la relevancia de la innovación de la práctica educacional en el nivel superior y en básica regular. De esta manera, los cursos relacionados con el ámbito matemático han evidenciado cambios metodológicos didácticos, así como la utilización continua de proyectos como actividades significativas en contraste con la enseñanza tradicional, donde la participación activa de los estudiantes lo convierten en protagonistas principales del proceso formativo profesional (Spanellis & Harviainen, 2021;Chacón, 2020).…”

La enseñanza de las matemáticas en el nivel universitario ha suscitado interés investigativo en los últimos años debido a la presencia de estrategias didácticas activas e innovadoras que han evidenciado mejoras sustantivas en el logro de aprendizajes. De esta manera, el objetivo del estudio consistió en analizar la relevancia de la estrategia didáctica para el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en el nivel superior. La metodología se fundamentó bajo la perspectiva cualitativa y cuantitativa, se pudo encuestar y entrevistar tanto a estudiantes como a docentes universitarios. Los resultados evidenciaron que numerosos docentes utilizan estrategias didácticas desfasadas y no muestran dominio tecnológico en el desarrollo de las clases, así como formulan percepciones inadecuadas en la capacidad de entendimiento de las matemáticas en los estudiantes. Se pudo concluir en la imperiosa necesidad de implementar la práctica educacional mediante el fortalecimiento de las competencias profesionales de los docentes, tanto pedagógicas, digitales como investigativas.

“…improve things, and to create networks that allow us all to solve wicked problems that no party can address on its own (Fernández Galeote et al, 2021;Spanellis & Harviainen, 2021) -climate change being a chief example (Fernández Galeote, 2024). Successful behavioural interventions that made use of gamification include reducing energy consumption (Casals et al, 2020;Johnson et al, 2017), promoting more sustainable food choices (Berger, 2019), and recycling (Hsu, 2022;Hsu & Chen, 2021), to name but a few.…”

Gamification has become a fairly recent addition to the topics covered in the Simulation & Gaming journal. This approach, focusing on influencing users' behaviour and engaging them through the integration of game design elements into other processes, practices, interfaces, etc. (Huotari & Hamari, 2012), has also naturally found an area of application in efforts to promote sustainability. The field of simulation/gaming has a long history of using games to teach and raise awareness about sustainability issues (Nguyen et al., 2024;Robinson & Ausubel, 1983;Tribaldos & Schneider, 2021), covering all of the areas addressed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The number of games produced to this end has grown in recent years, with many new titles combining economic, societal, and environmental aspects in their approaches (Stanitsas et al., 2019). Katsaliaki and Mustafee (2015), in their review of educational games for sustainability, conclude that games generally are able to improve the players' understanding of the issues at hand. Understanding, however, might not be enough. Although many of these studies start from the premise that known solutions to existing sustainability problems are not actioned because of people's lack of knowledge (Agusdinata et al., 2023), it is widely recognised that knowledge about or attitude towards certain issues or solutions do not always translate into the desired behaviour (Vermeir & Verbeke, 2006).Gamification has therefore emerged as a possible solution to the gap between knowledge and action in the field of sustainable development. This approach expands the idea of using games to promote sustainability one step further. In addition to creating new games addressing these issues, gamification proposes to use elements, dynamics and strategies traditionally associated with games in other contexts. This still allows to inform people of sustainability issues, but can also be used to motivate them to

Given the urgent need for environments that enable everyone in fulfilling their fullest potential, many new media innovations have focused on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) actions. Gamification is one of these innovations, becoming a promising avenue to engage people towards effective social change. Yet, the intersection between EDI and gamification is incipient and fragmented, preventing a comprehensive understanding of current findings and future advancements in this field. This literature review systematically investigates the meanings, methods and effects of gamification in EDI actions (i.e. gamification towards EDI), and the design of equitable, diverse and inclusive gamification (i.e. gamification alongside EDI). Results elucidate how gamification improves performance, enriches experiences and fosters change, while analysing its design through gender, age and disability lenses. Future work calls for broader and deeper gamified EDI interventions informed by social sciences, diverse people-oriented design and empirical demonstration of sustainable social change.
