Abstract: This study analyzes the impact of the implementation of active methodologies—Project-Based Learning (PBL), Gamification, and Flipped Classroom—on the motivation, academic performance, and participation of secondary school students. Using a mixed-methods design, quantitative and qualitative data reveal significant improvements in students' motivation, performance, and autonomy after the intervention. Increased active participation and greater engagement with school activities were observed. The results suggest that these methodologies can transform the educational process, fostering the development of key competencies. Despite limitations in the study's duration and sample size, the findings reinforce the importance of implementing these strategies in diverse educational contexts.
