Analysis of the impact of using a gamified App for spanish spelling practice in primary education

This study evaluates the impact of GAUBI, a gamified app designed for Spanish spellingpractice in primary education, using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with 114 fourth-grade students. Participants were divided into three groups: traditional methods (control group),app use in classroo...
