One of the methodologies and innovative alternatives for learning in university students is gamification. This study aims to identify the capabilities, effects and factors developed by gamification in active learning, as well as the main contributions of the authors. The study employs a systematic review methodology proposed in the PRISMA statement. Publications from three databases were used: Web of Science, Scielo and Scopus between 2018 and 2023, considering the search descriptors: "Gamification" and "active learning" and through a process of inclusion and exclusion, a final sample of 30 articles was reached. As a conclusion, it is evident that gamification significantly influences the active learning of university students, developing skills such as communication, problem solving and social skills, as well as learning factors such as motivation, new environments and autonomy.

Keywords : Gamification; Active learning; Higher education.
