Gamified Cognitive Development Instruments for 50 Children in Ecuador

Ecuador-based research instruments from a 2024 study at Universidad Técnica del Norte. It includes a validated 18-item structured observation checklist applied pre- and post-intervention to 50 children aged 4–6, and a 10-item teacher perception survey given to 5 educators. The dataset is authored by Carla Alexandra Yandún-Cartagena.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in attention and concentration scores based on the 5-item subscale
• Evaluating teacher attitudes towards gamification based on the 10-item Likert-scale survey
• Assessing the impact of gamified strategies on memory development using the 5-item memory subscale
• Comparing pre- and post-intervention outcomes for logical thinking across 4 items

Strengths

• High internal consistency for the observation checklist (Cronbach's α = 0.91)
• Instruments validated by expert judgment
• Clear ethical approval documented (UTN Research Ethics Committee Resolution No. UTN-CI-2024-208-R)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small in scale (26.4 KB), indicating limited scope
