QUEM CONTA UM CONTO: CRIAÇÃO DE BARALHO E APLICAÇÃO DE GAMIFICAÇÃO COMO METODOLOGIA ATIVA PARA O ENSINO DO GÊNERO CONTO

Abstract

This text presents research that explores gamification as a pedagogical strategy for teaching the short story genre in the Portuguese language discipline in Basic Education. Gamification in this context involves the creation of a themed deck that incorporates narrative elements from the story - characters, plots, challenges and rewards - transforming the learning process into an interactive and stimulating experience for students. The research is based on the goals that this approach can improve the teaching and learning of the short story genre, promoting the development of reading, writing, critical analysis and creativity skills. As theoretical-methodological contributions, we consider the contributions of Fadel (2014), Terra (2019), Coelho (2018) and Oliveira (2012), among others, and we are guided by what guides the BNCC (Brazil, 2018) for the construction of didactic proposal with the game. The text also highlights the importance of the short story genre in education, due to its brevity and ability to immediately engage students. The justification for the research is based on the need to revitalize the teaching of the Portuguese language, based on the short story genre in a more engaging and interactive way, overcoming the limitations of traditional teaching methods. Gamification is seen as a way to promote student engagement, develop their socio-emotional skills and make Portuguese language teaching more attractive and meaningful. The research methodology involves developing the theme deck, defining the rules of the game, collecting data and analyzing the results. Research aims to not only meet curricular requirements but also enrich students' educational experience and promote a deeper appreciation of literature. The research also highlights the importance of gamification as an effective pedagogical methodology that can be applied in different educational contexts.
