Abstract

The remote classes in the Brazilian scenario of the Covid-19 pandemic showed that it is necessary more than ever a new way of teaching that captivates and inspires students, because they are in a phase of modernity and technology that the school often does not talk, becoming outdated, boring and tedious for the students. The objective of this research is to understand how gamification has helped teachers and students in times of the Covid-19 pandemic in 9th grade classes (final years of elementary school) in a public school in the municipality of Gurjão- PB. We used as theoretical foundation several authors such as: (KAPP, 2012); (KLOCK, 2015) and (MORAN; BACICH, 2018). This is a qualitative research that uses field research, which obtained satisfactory results, since the cooperating teacher and the students showed that gamification makes the teaching-learning process more fun, enjoyable, and motivating for students, thus facilitating the understanding of the content. Gamification proved to be an innovative alternative that has been obtaining good results in public schools in the municipality of Gurjão-PB.
