This research has a qualitative nature that allows the collection, selection, organization, and analysis of data on the issue of this search. We obtained this information using methodological tools such as field diaries, interviews, and diagnostic tests. As a result, Gamification is determined as an active methodology of great importance for the student's needs because they can learn class content through games. In conclusion, gamified activities are a good learning strategy since they will awaken student interest in learning. Through it, the students will be able to acquire significant knowledge and feel more motivated to participate.
