Avaliação de jogos educacionais: um estudo de caso com os jogos TuxMath e Gnumch

Abstract

The use of new technological tools for the purpose of improving learners' learning is becoming more and more necessary. One such technology is digital educational games. These games are able to aid the teaching of specific contents like Mathematics, History, Physics among other contents, and still offer a fun and motivating experience to the student. However, the use of this technology by educators is not yet trivial. One of the difficulties faced in this regard is the lack of reference of the quality of the game as an educational tool. For this purpose, this work presented an evaluation of educational games for teaching in the mathematics discipline, with the objective of constructing a set of evaluations that can serve as reference for educators in the use of games as a support tool in the teaching-learning process in math.
