Abstract

Motivation for learning is a focus of upper basic education in Ecuador, thanks to the development for policies
that allow students to learn through play. Therefore, a playfull educational methodology is proposed to motivate learning of the
subjetct of Social Studies, using resources that regenerate learning, develop cognitive skills, and increase student enthusiasm. A
non-experimental design was adopted, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies, with a descriptive and correlational
approach to assessing students' levels of intrinsic stimulation. Theorethical and empirical methods, as well as mathematical and
statistical techniques, were used.
