IntroductionThis study examines the effectiveness of learning processes developed through a technology-enhanced approach in higher education. Therefore, we analyzed Webquests together with other gamification resources, considered relevant research studies on the impact and advantages of this inquiry-oriented learning approach, and examined students’ perceptions of the effects of these online learning tools on developing their organizational skills and effective planning for learning.MethodsParticipants in the study were 73 student teachers enrolled in the core unit of Social Studies, in the second year of the Primary Education degree at the University of Murcia (Spain). In this study, a pre-test and posttest design was applied and questionnaires were administered to students at the beginning and end of the term to examine the impact of this inquiry-oriented approach on the development of students’ learning processes. Their perceptions of the learning achieved were analyzed using statistical software for Excel (XLSTAT).ResultsThe results indicate that these online tools effectively promote technology-enhanced learning and collaborative work, especially among the most motivated and digitally literate students, underlining the importance of motivation and digital literacy as catalysts for learning.DiscussionThe study also highlights the need for further research on the impact of digital resources in promoting competency-based learning alongside other motivational online approaches in tertiary education. |
