A gamificação no processo de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

This is a professional master's dissertation produced in multipaper format. The aim of this study is to analyze the main characteristics of gamified methodologies, as well as to investigate how gamified resources can contribute to motivating students. To this end, a systematic review of the topic was initially proposed, with the aim of searching for studies that can explain how gamification can help engage students in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the following questions were asked in order to reach the proposed goals Q1. How is it possible to propose a greater engagement in the teaching and learning process, bringing our students closer to a more enjoyable feeling (motivation) brought by games? Q2. Which elements of games are most used in the teaching and learning process? In a second moment of the research, the premise of living in a digital culture emerged, which directly impacts the teaching and learning process, accepting as true the need for digital competencies in this process. Thus, another guiding question arose: What impact does gamification have on education, in the view of teachers? To answer this question, a qualitative research was conducted, seeking to understand the vision of teachers from different educational levels, and the feasibility of involving students in more dynamic and participatory learning activities that recognize their previous skills and encourage their active participation throughout the educational process was observed. Therefore, gamification in the teaching and learning process is possible, and throughout the theoretical readings it was possible to note the existence of various strategies used by authors and teachers
