Abstract

Gamification was born as an educational innovation tool in order to improve skills in education. This paper proposes to carry out a systematic review of the literature on gamification for educational innovation, focusing on research that has explored the effects of gamification on high school and university students. The Kitchenham & Carters method was used with the formulation of three guiding questions, based on aspects such as approaches, methodologies and contributions to the teaching-learning process. As a result, 26 documents were identified, under the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the findings in the scientific bibliography found in the IEEE, Springer and ScienceDirect electronic databases of the last 5 years were evaluated and interpreted. The results suggest that gamification is a valuable tool for educational innovation since it increases motivation, commitment, active learning, immediate feedback, collaboration and personalization.
