Abstract

"This paper presents an alternative way of approaching music education for kids in initial education using gamification as a strategy. Gamification is an educational tool of relatively recent creation, which is based on game theory in the computer field, but in recently days it has been easily adaptable to the classroom and especially in early childhood musical education. This research aims to identify the constituent elements of a gamification based on Marczewski's proposal, to later devise a gamification plan in the field of initial music education. To achieve this objective, an analysis of the main constituent elements of gamification is carried out, with the purpose of structuring them in a way that allows the creation of educational planning with didactic sequences based on the project method, being quite innovative in the musical educational field."
