Invigorating Virtual Classrooms in Degree and Post-Degree Studies of Economics With Escape Rooms

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to analyze the perception that undergraduate and graduate students have about the use of escape rooms in the subjects of Economic History and International Economic Environment taught in a degree and a post-degree at two online universities. As specific objectives, this study evaluates, on the one hand, the degree of dynamism, commitment, and involvement of students in the virtual classroom because of the use of escape rooms and, on the other, the impact on their academic performance. This work applies the experimental method from two randomly generated samples in each of the two subjects considered for this analysis. The data to carry out this analysis will be obtained from an ad hoc questionnaire to collect, among other aspects, the perceptions about the impact of the experience. The information generated will be treated with non-parametric inference tools.
