DIDACTIC MEDIATION OF GAMIFICATION TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW FROM THE TEACHER'S HOUSE

Abstract

This article explores the potential of gamification as an innovative tool to develop and promote environmental awareness, so fundamental today due to the challenges that are presented at a global level, and recognizing the significant role of educational institutions in the formation of future generations committed to sustainability. Methodologically supported by qualitative research, with emphasis on documentary review and analysis, it examines scientific publications over the last five (5) years, how gamification has been successfully used in other educational contexts to promote environmental awareness and encourage pro-environmental behaviors. Success stories are highlighted in which gamification has been shown to improve understanding and commitment to environmental education, as well as the adoption of sustainable practices, thus contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The article concludes about the benefits of gamification in students at all levels of the educational system, promoting motivation, self-regulated learning, creativity, critical thinking, among other skills.
