Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the metric properties of the Gamification questionnaire scale in a sample of 462 university students; of them, 73.1% are male; 26.3% were female and 0.6% preferred not to express themselves; the average age of the participants was 18.5 with a standard deviation of 2.55, who responded to the questionnaire scale for the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis procedures, detecting three components as the subscales, presenting a high index level and an adequate parsimonious model. The results showed high reliability with Cronbach 's alpha and concordance with the Aiken index; likewise, the confirmatory factor analysis detected three factors : dynamism, information acquisition and feedback with a total explained variance of 78.228% who were corroborated by the confirmatory analysis and the indices of the structural equations.
