摘要：

Gamification in higher education has become relevant to improve motivation and engagement in courses. The contribution we looked for is finding if avatar selection impacts students' performance to integrate improved gamified course design. We established a relation between the reason for avatar selection and the gained avatars to conclude its impact on motivation and engagement in two undergraduate courses, one for Calculus and the other for Professional Competencies Development. Findings point to a seek for identification with personal qualities as perseverance and discipline, and teamwork in the Calculus course. Women chose their avatar primarily based on the spirit of struggle, determination, and characteristics to overcome any situation.
