The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of gamification on educational flow and academic performance. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study has been carried out with 207 secondary school students that compares the gamified cooperative learning method with the directive teaching methodology. The results show statistically significant differences in perceived class flow and academic performance in favor of the gamified group. In addition, it has been analyzed whether these improvements vary according to sex, proving that the gamified methodology is just as effective for girls as for boys. It is concluded that the game systems achieved with gamification favor student engagement because they perceive the tasks as enjoyable and immersive. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.669 2023 Computer Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Science Applications 2023 Q2 Public Administration 2023 Q2 Education 2023 Q2 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2023 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2023 Q2 4.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Rodríguez Ferrer, José M.
