HERNANDEZ-RAMOS, Juan Pablo; MARTIN-CILLEROS, Mª Victoria  and  SANCHEZ-GOMEZ, Mª Cruz. Assessment of Kahoot's employment in university teaching based on student considerations. RISTI [online]. 2020, n.37, pp.16-30. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.37.16-30.

The present study, based on the opinion of the students of the different degrees in the field of Education, evaluates the use of a teaching methodology gamified with Kahoot in higher education, where the smartphone becomes an educational resource. To this end, a non-experimental research of a descriptive nature is carried out, applying an electronic questionnaire to a sample of 241 students in Primary Education degree (69), Pre-school Education degree (78), Pedagogy degree (73) and Social Education degree (29). The results obtained show how the student’s value positively the use of Kahoot, above all as a self-evaluation tool. They also show that they are satisfied with its educational use and that, as future teachers, they would use it. However, although they recognize that the gamma methodology increases their motivation for the subject, they are not convinced that it is more effective than other traditional methodologies.

Keywords : higher education; teachers in training; gamification; motivation.
