Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate whether using games improves students’ learning management, as reflected in their grades, and teamwork. Games were also used as a feedback strategy. The sample was made up of 156 Chilean university students, who took part in three game activities (Kahoot!, The Alphabet Game, and a card game). Student perception of the strategy was assessed, and pretests, posttests, and examinations were conducted to determine the impact of these strategies on grades. The results revealed a favorable evaluation of games as an innovative learning and teaching strategy; the pretests and posttests showed an increase in grades after the game activity. In conclusion, games are a learning tool that makes it possible to integrate skills and motivate students in a dynamic and creative manner.
