Who’s Who in Zoology: transversal application of gamification and new technologies in university teaching

Our findings support gamification as a valuable tool in higher education, particularly in science-based courses. By aligning teaching methods with students' expectations and cognitive habits, educators can improve both learning outcomes and classroom dynamics. Gamification offers a means to deliver rigorous content in an engaging format, helping bridge the gap between traditional education and today's fast-paced, digital society.
