Abstract

Innovative didactic strategies based on Information and Communication Technologies have become essential in the modern world, where virtual education occupies an increasing place. The present study is carried out, taking into account the experience obtained in the teaching of the subjects in the Accounting and Auditing Technology career belonging to the online modality of the Bolivarian Higher University Institute of Technology, with the objective of analyzing the importance of the didactic strategies based on playful virtual environments, aimed at achieving quality in the accounting student's learning. The methodology used responds to a descriptive study with a quantitative approach; for which, the research methods were used: bibliographic review, analytical-synthetic and statistical; as well as the survey technique. Among the main findings, the perception of teachers and students about the importance of recreational activities in virtual learning environments stands out, who consider that the gamification of teaching significantly favors the cognitive, procedural and attitudinal dimensions of learning.
