Our proposal

Our proposal
We have thought about a class dynamics to improve the students behaviour in class and motivate them, so we are using the type of gamification to change behaviours. This class dynamics will be developed along the whole year.
Students can get or lose points depending on their results and behaviors in class. For example, the students may lose points if they have a negative behavior in class, like bothering their classmates, arriving late to classes or if they do not complete the tasks that are given. On the other hand, if they have positive attitudes, such as answering correctly the questions asked by the teacher or being in solidarity with their classmates, they can acquire points.The student as he acquires or loses points, he will go up or down in level. If the student goes up on the level he/she will acquire some real privileges. For example, the possibility of asking a question to the teacher during the exam, or going out to the playtime 5 minutes before, or extending the delivery of a project one day.
When they get 10 points they will reach the following level and get the correspondent privilege or reward.


The levels and its privileges would be the following ones
Level 1. Being able to change their place in class during that day.
Level 2.  Leave the classroom 5 min before the playtime.
Level 3. Being able to choose the content that will be taught in class during a day.
Level 4. To be allowed to do only half of the homework given by the teacher.
Level 5. To be able to share their previous privilege with other classmate.
Level 6. To have one more day to turn in some work.
Level 7.To be the teacher assistan for one day.
Level 8. To be able to check one question during the exam.
Level 9. The student will know one question of the exam.

  1. Bothering his classmates
  2. Not paying attention in class
  3. Arriving late to class
  4. Not doing the homework requested by the teacher
  5. Not to be respectful with the teacher.
  6. To make fun of other classmate.
  7. To fight with the other children of the class.
  8. To speak without respecting their speaking time

COMPETENCES

  • Learn to learn competence
  • Social and Civic competence
  • Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship competence
  • Mathematical competence

METHODOLOGY

In this proposal it will be observed the capacity of students to behave in class. It will be evaluated the initiative and acquisition of a positive attitude and the capacity to make decisions by their own.
It will be taken into account how they are progressing each time in a more autonomous way and their capacity to pay attention to the others, to receive the message and to follow the rules.
We will use the cooperative learning and the token economy, so they will win points as soon as they behave in a correct way.
We have thought a way to improve the motivation of children in class and their spirit to continue learning new thing and helping their classmates. We have thought an idea to get it and we have written own objectives in order to get it.
In this proposal children are going to focus on the competences of learn to learn competence because they are going to learn new things by their own, social and civic competence behaving in a better way with their classmates and in class, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship competence as soon as they start to be motivated and mathematical competence with the points they are going to obtain and the points that they will be subtracted.

Game dynamics of gamification.

The game dynamics are an essential aspect for the development of any activity related to gamification. If before I spoke to you about the importance of your students knowing the rules of any game, in this case in the face of gamification it is essential that students have perfectly assimilated what game dynamics will be carried out. These game dynamics are aimed at the motivation and involvement of the student in the performance of an activity. It is through the dynamics of the game that students' interest in the activities they are carrying out is aroused.

For seeing the platforms' web sites you can go to the links on each web platform name. The information added to the blog is the following one: Web platforms allow to monitors what student do when working on computers or other technological resource. They are a good option for controlling in an automatic and continuous way the gamification processes of an activity. Some gamification platforms are:  Classcraft : It uses quests, teachers can include the content and learning activities of the year in interactive maps, allowing students to choose an adventure experience on which they can work and learn about. Students play in teams and earn points for positive behaviors,...
