In the context of an active learning process, this study investigated the short-term and long-term academic performance of students in two practical sessions of the Histology course, which included an escape room activity. The impact of this approach on motivation and knowledge retention was also assessed. Students were divided into a control group, which followed a traditional teaching methodology, and an experimental group, which participated in the escape room activity. The results revealed significant improvements in post-intervention grades in the experimental group. Additionally, the study assessed students' perceptions of the escape room experience, which showed highly satisfactory evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowledge about genetics is essential to build a society capable of participating in socio-scientific debates. However, the teaching-learning process of this subject involves many difficulties, requiring the development of new educational strategies, to facilitate its understanding and evaluation. An alternative could be the implementation of a BreakoutEDU, a specific type of gamification similar to the famous escape room, in which students face the challenge of opening a box. To achieve this, students must solve a series of challenges during which they acquire or reinforce learning about the chosen content. Thus, three main objectives are established in this work: a) to design a gamified activity of the BreakoutEDU type to evaluate the contents on gene expression; b) to study the students' perceptions of the activity and the emotions experienced with it and c) to analyze the suitability and usefulness of the activity from the point of view of the teacher in charge of the classroom. The BreakoutEDU has been implemented with a group of 28 students and its evaluation has been carried out by means of questionnaires, observation templates, videotaping and an interview with the teacher in charge. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results shows that the designed BreakoutEDU is a good strategy to contextualize, evaluate and approach the abstract content of gene expression.

Marie Curie Lab STEAM Room is an immersive interactive didactic activity with an educational approach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), which integrates these disciplines and uses active teaching methodologies, in this case an educational escape room, for the achievement of significant learning. The objective of the activity is to bring the participants closer to science in a playful way, working on curricular contents of the STEAM disciplines in a context of interest to students, which promotes the development of skills for the 21st century. The escape room was presented in the first semester of 2022, at the Institute of Engineering to the university community. Four presentations were made, each with four teams of approximately three members, who worked collaboratively to overcome the challenges posed. The result of the presentation shows that the participants favorably evaluated the activity, found it creative, fun, and stated that they had learned about chemistry, teamwork and about Marie Curie as a scientific figure of reference. The implementation of this activity shows that educational escape rooms are attractive immersion experiences for the participants. In addition to that they can be designed aligned to the curriculum of various subjects, for implementation in the classroom. They develop skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity; these experiences are demanding, challenging, interesting and fun at the same time. At the end of this investigation it was identified that there is an area of teacher training opportunity in relation to integrating this type of methodologies in teaching practice.

Geology in secondary education has faced many difficulties when it comes to teaching in the classroom with a holistic, contextualized and applicable approach for students. Currently, there is a growing commitment from teachers to implement innovative teaching methods that place students as the active subjects of their learning. The Educational Escape Room (EER) is a tool within Game-Based Learning that consists of designing challenges and puzzles within a theme where theoretical contents are dynamically addressed. In this approach, students must solve a series of tests within 45 minutes and find the final key with which they will be able to leave the classroom. The present work consists of designing an analogical EER proposal on earthquakes and implementing it as an assessment instrument within a didactic unit for students in the 4th year of ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education, in its Spanish acronym).

The article presents an escape room called "Quantum Break" designed to reinforce concepts of Physics and Chemistry in high school. Students must solve puzzles related to physics and chemistry to rescue a cat trapped in Schrödinger's laboratory. The activity has been well received by students, who consider it motivating and useful for understanding the subject's content and improving their teamwork. The author of the text is a teacher with extensive teaching experience who strives to prepare each class and review the results to face the reality of the students. [Extracted from the article]

Despite the growing success of gamification in higher education, it is surprising there are still no studies focusing on its implementation in the field of public policy. This paper aims to fill this gap. This article reviews the origins, benefits, and limits of gamification. It also introduces a series of activities implemented previously: the use of Lego bricks, a Kahoot contest, a urban rally, a surviving game among urban gardens, an escape game, a SimCity competition, and a simulation based on Diplomacy. This paper must be considered as roadmap that should be adapted by teachers to their own context. We advocate for a moderate and reasonable use of gamification. This trend must be considered as a simple tool to facilitate learning, and not as an end in itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After introducing the gamification as a didactic resource, the characteristics of a particular tool, the escape room, are discussed and information about a specific case is explained. The case was prepared as a review activity for the subject Physics and Chemistry of the 3rd course of the Compulsory Secondary Education. It was endowed with a multidisciplinary character, including environmental awareness as guiding theme, exercises that included concepts from different subjects and taking into consideration skills, attitudes and knowledge contained in key competences. Students who participated by teamwork showed great involvement and had fun at the same time. They mentioned that they would like these type of activities to be more often implemented.

One of the greatest difficulties that teachers currently encounter in their classes is maintaining student attention and interest. This paper is presented as part of the initial phase of a project that aims to train teachers in initial training in the use of various educational strategies and methodologies, one of which is the Escape Room. This is an exploratory study of a descriptive-interpretative nature with 2nd, 3rd and 4th year-students from the Degree on Primary Education (n=155). A 17 items questionnaire was administered that combined multiple choice questions with open questions for exploring participants' views on various didactic and methodological aspects. Results show participants consider Escape Rooms a highly motivational activity that enhances group cohesion as well as the inclusion of all students. They are also though to foster significant learning and to be easily implemented in the Primary Education classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In response to the need tor innovation in Human Resources Management, the object of this paper is to approach the concept of Escape Room. We argue the use in the staff selection processes. They are collaborative activities where participants are trapped and, to get out, they must solve a series of riddles and puzzles demonstrating their competencies. To know the use of this technique in the staff selection processes, an Escape Room design was proposed that serves as a hiring instrument for a specific position. First, a search was carried out to determine the competencies of the selected profile and, subsequently, its definition was carried out. As a last step, the Escape Room proposal was completed based on the well-known CANVAS model. It can be concluded that it is an innovative technique that allows to observe the different candidates for a job while they live a unique experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
