dc.description.abstract	Este estudio de investigación-acción cualitativa se llevó a cabo con alumnos de cuarto y posteriormente quinto grado del Colegio Técnico Domingo Faustino Sarmiento con el objetivo de analizar la influencia del aprendizaje basado en juegos en la participación, percepción y compromiso de los alumnos en las clases de inglés. A través de ese análisis, también se evaluaron los conceptos de autoridad saludable e interacción entre líderes y compañeros para ver si era posible mejorarlos en el aula. El estudio siguió un enfoque de investigación-acción y se desarrolló en cuatro etapas: diagnóstico, revisión teórica, diseño e implementación de la intervención y evaluación de los resultados. Los datos se recopilaron mediante pruebas de diagnóstico, talleres, observación, evaluaciones de comprensión auditiva y expresión oral, tareas de escritura y una encuesta final de percepción. La intervención incluyó juegos de mesa, misiones, actividades de juego de roles y retos colaborativos centrados en la integración de vocabulario, estructuras sencillas y aprendizaje socioemocional en contextos significativos. Este proyecto proporcionó a los alumnos y profesores estrategias prácticas basadas en el juego para mejorar la participación, fomentar la cooperación y apoyar el desarrollo gradual de las habilidades comunicativas en el aula de inglés.	spa
dc.description.abstractenglish	This qualitative action research study was conducted with firstly 4th and finally 5th grade students at Colegio Técnico Domingo Faustino Sarmiento with the purpose of analyzing the influence of game-based learning on students’ engagement in English classes. Through that analysis, the concepts of healthy authority and leader-peer interaction were also tested to see if it was possible to improve them in the classroom. The study followed an action research approach and was developed in four stages: diagnosis, theoretical review, intervention design and implementation, and evaluation of results. Data was collected through diagnostic tests, workshops, observation, listening and speaking assessments, writing tasks, and a final perception survey. The intervention included board games, missions, role-playing activities, and collaborative challenges focused on integrating vocabulary, simple structures, and socioemotional learning within meaningful contexts. This project provided students and teachers with practical game-based strategies to enhance engagement, foster cooperation, and support the gradual development of communicative skills in the English classroom.	eng
