| Abstract: |
To carry out good teacher training, we need professionals capable of teaching from all aspects. To do this, they must be trained in various active methodologies, among which is game-based learning. It is said that it is necessary to break the apparent opposition between play and work, which considers the latter associated with the effort to learn and play as idle fun. The objective of this research is to know the opinion and assessment of teachers on initial training and learning of recreational/didactic tools, and their impact on the teaching/learning process. This research was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 16 Primary Education teachers from different educational centers in Andalusia (Spain). Subsequently, a content analysis was carried out to collect the evaluations provided, extracting the most fundamental characteristics. Data processing was carried out using the QSR Nvivo 12 Plus qualitative program. The results conclude that the initial training of teachers presents deficits in the acquisition of knowledge on the subject. A fact that is supplemented during the training received during the exercise of their professional performance. Likewise, suggestions and elements for improvement of the issue are presented, pointing out the teacher, the study plans and the university institution itself as axes of change.
