Resumen

Los juegos y experimentos económicos aplicados en el aula de educación secundaria para el aprendizaje de economía son metodologías activas que plantean situaciones interactivas. Las propuestas de aula basadas en el uso de estas metodologías recrean simulaciones realistas facilitadoras de aprendizajes significativos. Por ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática con el objetivo de analizar el efecto en el aprendizaje de intervenciones de aula que hayan empleado los juegos y experimentos económicos en materias de la especialidad de economía en educación secundaria. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron Scopus, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) y Web of Science. Se comprobó que esta metodología es más eficaz que métodos tradicionales basados en la transmisión de conocimiento. Además, es preciso que la participación en experimentos y juegos económicos vaya acompañada de un periodo de reflexión posterior, en el que se comparta con iguales la experiencia vivida con la intervención del profesorado como guía.
