Abstract

Fostering motivation in the classroom is crucial to improve students' academic performance. The objective of this study was to design a guide of motivational didactic strategies adapted to the school context and to evaluate their impact on the academic performance of second-grade students in the EEB Mocache. A single-group quasi-experimental design with a mixed approach was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The target population included all second-grade students and teachers at the educational institution, constituting a total of 3 teachers and 30 students. Surveys were conducted with students to assess their level of motivation, semi-structured interviews with teachers to obtain qualitative information, and a pretest and posttest were conducted to measure students' academic performance. Statistical techniques such as analysis of central tendency, normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk), and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyze the data. The results show a significant improvement in academic performance after the implementation of the motivational strategies, supporting their effectiveness in the school context. In addition, educational experts, who provided feedback to improve its consistency and effectiveness, validated the guide.
