Abstract

Introduction: Given the disaffection of students towards traditional methods, the literature attributes to the gamification methodology, and more specifically to the escape room activity, the power to raise their motivation during the teaching-learning process. Considering the didactic potential of this tool and the inclusion of sustainable development in LOMLOE curricula, the escape room “Earth 2050” was created and implemented within the theme “The new green paradigm in the EU economy” (Economics 1st Bac.), based on one of the lines of the EU-ECO-FIN project. Methodology: To measure student perceptions, a questionnaire covering the dimensions “motivation” and “learning” was used. Mean scores were calculated for each item to identify the most salient components, as well as overall scores, facilitating comparison between dimensions. Results: High levels of motivation, teamwork and immersion; acquisition of knowledge on SDGs, renewable energy and circular economy and development of environmental awareness. Discussion: The escape room is advisable in the LOMLOE context Conclusions: Validity of the activity to address EC 5 of the educational program.
