Title in different languages: L'ús de la gamificació per millorar la implicació dels estudiants en el treball cooperatiu i l'aprenentatge de vocabulari

Abstract: This research aims to investigate if gamification is an efficient methodology in general, but especially regarding cooperative work and vocabulary learning. Therefore, a didactic sequence involving those issues has been implemented in a specific group of students. This study provides the teacher’s and the group of students’ perspectives through notes and exit tickets to show their individual and group performances and demonstrates that gamification is an efficient methodology. However, the results do not show a clear improvement in the students’ performances toward cooperative work; although they show that students retain more information for a longer time in terms of vocabulary.
