    Nowadays, human actions tend to be directed towards digital environments. Access to information and communication has increased exponentially for general society with the advancement of technology, so it is vital that social actors have access to technology. However, in schools in developing countries such as Ecuador, there are still limitations in technological infrastructure. In this context, this study presents the procedure carried out to design and implement the unplugged gamification proposal, that is, without the use of technology in the classroom, due to limited access to technological resources and personnel with a lack of training in the application of technologies. For the development of the proposal, a series of sequential processes of four phases were followed, which were planning and organization phase I, initiation of the investigation (Situational Diagnosis) phase II, which allowed deciding to carry out disconnected gamification, design and structure, phase III and finally the implementation of the disconnected gamification phase IV. The situational diagnosis carried out with 44 teachers from a public school in rural Ecuador revealed that gamification without technology is an effective alternative in environments with limited access to infrastructure and technological equipment

    Enhancing mathematics learning with 3D augmented reality escape room
    Learning mathematics is a challenge for many students, especially because of the traditionalist method with which its contents are taught. To a large extent, mathematics classes generate little motivation in students, so in this research, a novel technological method based on augmented reality is applied to improve the mathematics learning process, particularly the techniques of solving systems of linear equations. The research design used was a two-phase mixed sequential confirmatory type. The research worked with a sample of 65 students (Mage=17.72, SD=0.65; 58.5% female and 41.5% male). In the first phase, a quasi-experimental study was designed with an experimental group (M=32) and a control group (M=33). The experimental group received a mathematics teaching and learning intervention based on augmented reality vs. the control group, which received a traditional educational process. The experimental group showed improvements in acquired knowledge and motivation compared to the control group students. In the qualitative phase, two focus groups were conducted with students from their respective groups. In the experimental group, the following categories were identified: interesting, fun, innovative, and entertaining. The control group identified the following categories: little attention, low interest in learning, tired knowledge, and lack of motivation. The results are discussed in relation to the need to generate educational processes that benefit mathematics learning
