Abstract

This research delves into the field of learning of children who face challenges that affect both vision and hearing, with the aim of exploring in depth the impact that the implementation of a gamification system has on their educational process. Located in the city of Cajamarca and contextualized in the year 2023, this research aims to understand how the fusion of recreational and technological strategies can enrich the learning experience of these children and encourage their full participation in an inclusive educational environment. This study aims to provide valuable information on how gamification can open new avenues of participation and motivation in the learning process, especially designed to meet the needs of children who do not have the ability to see and hear. In addition, we seek to understand how this innovative pedagogical strategy can contribute to the creation of a more inclusive approach in the education of these children, promoting equal opportunities and improving their cognitive and educational development. Through a combination of theoretical research, software development and empirical evaluation, this study aims to illuminate the path towards a more effective and equitable educational approach for children with visual impairment and hearing impairment in Cajamarca in the year 2023.
