Sumario:The integration of technology in higher education has transformed teaching, turning students into active participants in their learning. Faced with the limitations of conventional methods, the integration of technological and creative methods adapted to current demands is being sought. Proficiency in word processing and spreadsheets is crucial in university education, especially in social sciences and law, where the lack of specialized technical training affects academic performance. This study analyzes the impact of incorporating serious games with technological tools and active teaching methods on students’ motivation, engagement and academic performance.
