Gamification and Multimodality: A New Path for Education

This study explores the concept of gamification as a multimodal educational strategy, acknowledging its relatively recent emergence and the need for broader academic discussion. While it proposes an innovative approach to learning and various other domains of contemporary knowledge, its adoption in higher education remains incipient, largely due to ongoing academic controversy. However, gamification aligns with other progressive proposals by effectively addressing common learning deficiencies, primarily by fostering student engagement and motivation in the educational environment. Fundamentally, this approach is not presented as a revolutionary replacement for established concepts and procedures, but rather as a complementary tool. It seeks to leverage technological advances to make the learning process more intuitive and natural for individuals. The successful integration of gamification requires overcoming significant obstacles, including technological, financial, procedural, educational, and structural ones. More research, rigorous evaluations, and consistent results are essential to determine the long-term viability and consistency of this initiative.
