Gamificação como estratégia de aprendizagem no ensino da teoria dos conjuntos

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the contributions of gamification in the teaching-learning process of Mathematics, verifying its potentials and limitations, so that it can contribute and facilitate learning and the development of the ability to work with maximum accuracy and efficiency. to the content of Sets, investigating which tools can help students to compress concepts, understanding how students attribute meaning to the properties that underlie the mathematical language around the proposed content. The research followed a qualitative approach, and with regard to the objectives, it was exploratory and descriptive. The universe of the research was two groups, one with 37 students and the other with 16 students, both belonged to the 1st year of high school in a public school in the state education system, located in the municipality of Pilões – PB. During the research it was only the Wordwall platform tools, which made available several options for the elaboration of gamified activities, allowing to explore the elements found in games, in which they were essential to reach the research objective. The Pac-Man Game and million show inspired the gamified activities, which were developed during our research. However, adjustments were made to be aimed at learning the concepts and properties that involve the content of Sets. Regarding the results, it was observed that students had a greater interaction with the class from gamified activities, which are characterized as a tool that contributes to the development of skills and abilities, in addition to developing intrinsic motivation. It was observed, at the same time, that gamification facilitated the understanding of concepts and properties belonging to the joint content, in addition to providing a more attractive and dynamic environment for students, encouraging learning through playfulness.
