Item La motivación durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los estudiantes de sexto grado de Educación General Básica de la Unidad Educativa Catorce de Julio – Juan Abel Echeverría, de la ciudad de Latacunga(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación Básica, 2025-07-01) Chiguano Vásconez Martha Alexandra; Mera Constante Medardo Alfonso; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación BásicaThe present research, aligned with Social and Educational Behavior, aimed to analyze motivation during the teaching-learning process of sixth-grade students of General Basic Education at the “Catorce de Julio – Juan Abel Echeverría” Educational Unit, in the city of Latacunga. The methodology used followed a mixed approach, with a non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional design, under a bibliographic and field-based modality. The population consisted of 39 students, including four with educational needs not associated with disabilities, and one teacher who teaches the core subjects. To collect data, a Likert-scale questionnaire was applied to the students and a structured interview was conducted with the teacher; both instruments were validated by experts. The results show that motivation improves when there is a good school environment, adequate rest, proper nutrition, and emotional wellbeing; in addition, it was identified that extrinsic motivation predominates, as most students make an effort to obtain grades or rewards, although intrinsic motivation is also evident in those who learn out of personal interest; likewise, it was found that cooperative work and teacher support strengthen learning and increase student confidence. In conclusion, the motivation of sixth-grade students is mainly driven by external stimuli, although a genuine interest in learning is also observed, and this is influenced by factors such as school climate, peer support, teacher attitude, and the application of active methodologies, which allow for a more dynamic and organized teaching-learning process.Item Cuentos de motivación en la práctica de la lengua kichwa en niños de 4 a 5 años(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación Inicial, 2025-06-26) Jerez Chango Yarina Agustina; Yungán Lema Jorge Vinicio; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación InicialThe present research is based on the topic "Motivational Stories for Kichwa Language Practice in Children Aged 4 to 5 Years", with the purpose of analyzing the use of motivational stories in the practice of the Kichwa language among children aged 4 to 5 years at Unidad Educativa Fray Bartolomé de las Casas "Salasaka", located in the parish of Salasaka, Pelileo Canton, Tungurahua Province. Regarding the methodology, the study was framed within the constructivist paradigm, with a qualitative approach, ethnographic and non-experimental design, and conducted under the documentary research modality. The level of research was exploratory and descriptive, as it allowed for the analysis of results based on the application of techniques and instruments. The data collection techniques included observation, using an observation sheet, and interviews with teachers, using an interview guide. The results showed a positive impact of using motivational stories in the practice of the Kichwa language, significantly contributing to the development of interest, attention, and comprehension. However, many cases revealed difficulties in oral expression, such as the use of complete sentences or fluent responses, highlighting the need to strengthen continuous oral practices in the classroom to improve language skills in Kichwa. Finally, it is concluded that motivational stories in the Kichwa language are an effective didactic resource to strengthen both the practice of the language and cultural identity in children aged 4 to 5 yearsItem La Gamificación en el aprendizaje de Matemática en los estudiantes de Quinto Grado de la Unidad Educativa "Agustín Albán" de la ciudad de Pujilí(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación Básica, 2025-01-21) Cuchiparte Pallo Franklin Wilfrido; Miranda López Ximena Cumandá; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación BásicaGamification is a technique that incorporates elements and dynamics from games, increasing students' motivation, engagement, and active participation. By making learning more appealing and dynamic, it promotes meaningful learning, thereby improving academic performance. The objective of this research was to analyze the importance of gamification in learning mathematics among fifth-grade students at the "Agustín Albán" Educational Unit in the city of Pujilí. The methodology followed a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach at a descriptiveexploratory level, with bibliographic, documentary, and field-based modalities.

This strategy promotes participation, teamwork, and social skills, creating a dynamic learning environment tailored to educational needs. The study focused on analyzing the impact of gamification on the motivation of students at the José Ignacio Ordóñez Educational Unit. A quantitative, pre-experimental, and longitudinal approach was employed, with 60 third-year students evaluated through pretests and post-tests. Initially, 23.3% exhibited low motivation, 18.3% medium motivation, and 58.3% high extrinsic motivation. After implementing gamified activities, 80% achieved high motivation and 20% medium motivation. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test (P < 0.05) revealed a significant effect, confirming that gamification significantly enhances motivation. The conclusions highlighted that gamification positively impacts students' performance and motivation, fostering a participatory and engaging environment that encourages intrinsic motivation. Previous studies, such as those by Torres (2022) and López (2017), support these findings, emphasizing the effectiveness of gamification in increasing participation, improving motor skills, and boosting academic success.Item La motivación y el desempeño académico en el área de Lengua y Literatura de los estudiantes de séptimo grado de Educación General Básica de la Unidad Educativa Juan León Mera “La Salle” en la ciudad de Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación Básica, 2025-01-16) Buele Tinoco José Andres; Mera Constante Medardo Alfonso; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Educación BásicaThe objective of this research was to investigate the motivation and academic performance in the area of Language and Literature among seventh-grade students of Basic General Education at the Juan León Mera "La Salle" Educational Unit in the city of Ambato. The research employed bibliographic-documentary and field modalities, a mixed approach, and a nonexperimental design with a cross-sectional cut. The level was descriptive, as it described the characteristics of the independent and dependent variables. The population consisted of one Language and Literature teacher and 34 seventh-grade Basic General Education students. For data collection, questionnaires and interviews were used as techniques, with their respective instruments: surveys and interview scripts, which were reviewed and validated by experts in the field. The results show that motivation is closely related to learning and is considered a key factor because it drives students to strive, overcome challenges, and be predisposed to learn. More than a quarter of the students mentioned achieving or exceeding learning goals, as they not only understand and retain knowledge but also apply it effectively. This is thanks to the teacher, who frequently employs motivational activities that encourage students to meaningfully engage with new knowledge. The findings of the research suggest that the students' level of motivation is high, as they feel encouraged and ready to study from the beginning of the class. They maintain an adequate level of attention, participate in class interactions, display good behavior, and demonstrate that motivation enhances their academic performance.Item La cocina tradicional y motivación del visitante en Machachi(2024-12-04) Caiza Criollo, Maikol Estalin; Camilo Francisco Torres Oñate; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Turismo y hoteleríaLa investigación surge con la necesidad de identificar la cocina tradicional y la motivación del visitante en Machachi, destino considerado como un punto de encuentro para turistas que en su mayoría se ven atraídos por diferentes atractivos turísticos tanto naturales y culturales, que de alguna manera la cocina se ve inmiscuida por la necesidad de ingerir alimentos, donde la cocina tradicional puede ser considerada como ente de afinidad de visita. Ante la situación se busca plantear estrategias de promoción turística, donde la gastronomía sea el gestor principal y sea resaltada como parte de la motivación para los visitantes, para recolección de información se planteó un diseño no experimental transversal, que brinde información detallada de los diversos aspectos gastronómicos que son apreciados como atractivos para los turistas. Para la recopilación de datos se usaron fichas de registro del INPC, en conjunto con encuestas de satisfacción a los comensales, en las que se destacan resultados que la cocina tradicional es apreciada en gran parte, como un punto motivación, aunque también se puede percibir ausencia de factores de promoción gastronómica por parte de los establecimientos de alimentación, en los cuales puede desatacar la oferta mediante herramientas de promoción como pueden ser revistas digitales que cuenten con información detallada de los platillos que se puedan ofrecer. Se puede concluir que los medios digitales en la actualidad pueden suponer como, medios de apoyo y difusión en base la cocina tradicional, en los cuales se puedan presentar los diferentes aspectos con los que cuenta el lugar y sean tomados como punto de motivación para las personas que pueden estar de paso o de visita a Machachi, pues se ven influenciados por la manera de presentación de los alimentos, calidad de los platillos, precios accesibles para las personas en general.
