gamificación, integración tecnológica, Prodigy, SAMRAbstract
To support teaching and facilitate deep learning among students, educators require skills in integrating technology effectively. Particularly in math classes, the selection of technologically oriented learning resources poses a significant challenge. This study aimed to utilize the SAMR paradigm to assess the integration of Prodigy for applied gamification in math teaching and learning by sixth-grade teachers. The SAMR model served as a framework to evaluate how this tool functioned as a substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition of academic practices. Employing a qualitative methodology, data was collected on the utilization of Prodigy and its integration into teaching practices through analysis of lesson plans. The findings revealed that teachers across all SAMR levels successfully integrated technology into math instruction, ultimately reshaping the teaching process and positively impacting student academic achievement.
