Um estudo sobre Gamificação no Moodle

Abstract

In the last two years, due to the pandemic imposed by COVID-19, there has been a growing search for different forms of teaching, such as those provided by technologies already known in the distance mode. As a result, the need to pay greater attention to the students' motivational issues also grew. In this context, the option for resources that seek to motivate and engage students is always very welcome. Among these resources, there is gamification, which consists of applying game elements to help motivate and engage students in virtual teaching environments. This research aimed to analyze the application of gamification resources for Moodlle, used in virtual environments based on case studies published in 2018, 2019 and 2021, chosen because they better highlight the proposal of the studied theme. This is an exploratory and descriptive study. So, it was possible to see that the analyzed studies used the gamification resources seeking to investigate the student's performance, in this environment that, at the same time that it is playful, is also of learning. Based on the feedback from both surveys, it was possible to identify that the application of the tools was considered positive and that the gamified resources provided an improvement in student performance.
