The addition of gamification to the classroom as a methodological tool means that the teacher’s opinion about this has become an inflection point that can affect its use or not in the classroom. In this sense, the main objective of the present article is to explore the opinion of future Early Childhood education teachers on the use of this resource for the development of the mathematics curriculum at this education stage and to obtain an explanatory model that explains it. The design of the study utilized a descriptive perspective and a cross-sectional quantitative focus through a quantitative exploratory study. For data collection, an ad hoc questionnaire was utilized, which was administered to a sample of 232 teachers-in-training. The main result obtained was that the future early childhood education professionals considered that gamification could be a resource for the learning of specific mathematics contents, and this was shaped around a model of two elements. On one hand, the development of mathematical thinking, and on the other, the establishment of relationships between mathematical concepts. Lastly, we can conclude that elements such as age or gender do not determine the perception of the use of gamification in the early childhood education classroom.
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention strategy in teaching mathematics based on a board game, using the curriculum of mathematics in Greece, called Adapted Analytical Programs (A.A.P.). This research was conducted on secondary students in Greek General Schools over a period of five weeks. One hundred and twenty-four 12-to-13-year-old dyslexic students participated in the study. A pre-test and a post-test with exercises in the chapter of fractions were used to assess the improvement in students’ performance. The assessment showed that this intervention strategy improved dyslexic students’ performance. Τhe results of the research indicate that integrating a board game adapted to mathematics into the secondary school curriculum could have positive effects on dyslexic students.
ResumenSe presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica realizada en Colombia indexada en la base de datos SciELO Citation Index. Algunos de los objetivos fueron determinar el volumen de la producción y determinar el grado de colaboración, identificar las universidades colombianas más productivas y determinar cuáles son los pares académicos en la investigación científica y tecnológica en Colombia. Se analizaron 15 302 documentos publicados en doce años.Se halló un notable incremento en la producción, con un grado de colaboración global de 0,75. Las universidades públicas son las que más publican, destacando la Universidad Nacional y la Universidad de Antioquia. También se constató un aumento de la colaboración internacional, especialmente con los países de la región latinoamericana. España es el principal socio académico de Colombia.Hay un sesgo en favor de las publicaciones realizadas en revistas nacionales. Las Ciencias de la Salud se confirman como el mayor núcleo de la producción científica en Colombia.Palabras Clave: producción científica, SciELO, Colombia, bibliometría, colaboración. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of Colombian scientific production, which SciELO has indexed in its citation index database.
Resumen: Se presenta un estudio bibliométrico y de análisis de las redes de colaboración en los artículos de investigación en Educación Matemática publicados en una muestra de revistas españolas en el período 1999-2008. Para ello se han analizado los 774 artículos publicados en un conjunto de ocho revistas españolas representativas verificán-dose el cumplimiento de las leyes o patrones propios de la Cienciometría y comprobándose un bajo grado de colaboración científica entre los investigadores del área y también entre las instituciones.Palabras clave: Educación matemática, bibliometría, revistas científicas, colaboración.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
