“…The second section entails an elicitation test focusing on available words regarding three centres of interest: geometry, trigonometry, and emotions linked to geometry. This material helps operationalise the available lexicon variable, which is defined as vocabulary that is instantly accessible to the speaker when addressing a specific topic [27].…”

The primary aim of this study is to introduce a didactic programme that incorporates gamification in geometry classes for high school students. The purpose of this programme is to boost students’ motivation towards learning. In the present educational scenario, the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) is paramount. Gamification has the potential to enhance the learning process by integrating game elements into non-game environments. This approach is deemed necessary as emotional factors in teaching may not lead to meaningful learning and improved academic performance. The research methodology employed a mixed approach and a pre-experimental design with pre- and post-test measurements. The sample comprised 45 10th grade students from a subsidised private high school in the Biobío Region of Chile. The study took 10 months and evaluated the factors of motivation, academic achievement, and lexical availability. Results showed a 23% increment in students’ knowledge, as proven by pre- and post-tests. The findings suggest an improvement in students’ perception regarding geometry and a significant improvement in academic performance. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that there is a noteworthy correlation between the group’s overall motivation and their academic performance, supporting gamification as an effective pedagogical strategy.

“…Este lexicón es permeable al entorno de desarrollo de las personas y, por lo tanto, puede variar en el tiempo. Sin embargo, este tipo de encuestas requieren de recursos materiales y tiempo de post-procesamiento considerables, lo que ha conducido a otros autores a proponer softwares especializados como LexMath (Salcedo et al 2015;Del Valle et al 2016), que permiten, utilizando Internet, controlar los tiempos exactos de la prueba y realizar el pre-procesamiento necesario para el análisis de las respuestas, incluyendo la corrección ortografía y el cálculo automático de los estadígrafos léxicos más utilizados.…”

“…For testing the proposed model, we use the Lexmath.com system (Salcedo, Del Valle, Contreras, & Pinninghoff, 2015 Besides that, the system offers a facility for studying the lexicon as a graph that can be displayed on the screen, as shown in Figure 9 under different formats, which allow to rescale the graph and to hide the nonrelevant nodes to highlight what is called the mental structure.…”

This work presents an adaptive hypermedia proposal that focuses on the students' lexicon. An adequate lexicon knowledge affects dramatically in the learning processes in which the students are involved. In general, students manage a lexicon level that allows them to communicate. However, this is not enough for understanding specialized texts covering specific topics. Our proposal takes into account the interconnecting structures present in the lexicon associated to a student profile. More specifically, we propose a set of rules that, based on the student profile, facilitate the selection of the lexicon. We also provide a description of the different instances involved in the complete process.
