Utilização de jogos educativos digitais no processo ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

This monograph presents consolidated information on the use of Digital Educational Games in the Teaching-Learning Process. This information was searched through a bibliographical review of six publications on the subject, obtained on the Internet. The research is justified because, although there are many publications on the subject, the data are very scattered. The information was organized into categories, specially chosen for this purpose. These included the characteristics of educational games, the advantages and risks of using them, the teacher's role in this process, some warnings about the planning, application and evaluation of this activity, and places where Digital Educational Games can be found. This research concluded that the use of these teaching tools is very advantageous for the process of teaching and learning, because educational games are playful, motivating, aggregating and they help students to understand concepts, develop skills and competences, and build knowledge.
