description Education is currently immersed in a changing world, which supports the importance of implementing different strategies that prioritize the interests and encourage intrinsic motivation of students to achieve educational goals through the use of innovative techniques and strategies such as gamification, with the purpose of acquiring knowledge in a more active, participatory, autonomous and dynamic way. In this way, the development of skills and abilities that contribute significantly to the improvement of academic performance will be enhanced. In order to go deeper into this topic, the research was proposed with the objective of developing intrinsic motivation through gamification strategies, evidencing its incidence on the academic performance of students in the second semester of the Pedagogy Career of a university in Ecuador. The study was developed under a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental method of correlational type, approaching a sample of 129 students, divided into two groups, a control group with 65 members and an experimental group with 64. The information was collected through the application of a pretest and a posttest that led to the design of a proposal implemented to the experimental group. The main results showed that intrinsic motivation developed with gamification activities is positively related to academic performance, since it is a fundamental contribution to the integral preparation of university students.
