Metodologias ativas: a interseção entre matemática e gamificação na sala de aula

Abstract

This paper will address the topic of gamification, which is a teaching trend that seeks to engage and encourage students to develop activities to raise their level of knowledge. The general objective of this research was, through a bibliographic survey, to identify academic- scientific productions that present studies on the efficiency of gamification. This is a qualitative research, characterized as a systematic review of the literature. Five (5) productions published in the last six years were selected and analyzed. The results indicate that this methodology is of utmost importance for the field of basic education in terms of motivating students, as many suffer from mathematical anxiety, that is, they have aversion and fear about the subject that causes low self-esteem in relation to their ability to understand the content. Selected studies emphasize the insertion of mathematics with gamification in the classroom, noting the attention of students during pedagogical activities. It is therefore concluded that gamification is a valuable methodology for making mathematics teaching more effective and engaging, highlighting that it should be used as a complement to traditional teaching in order to engage students in the classroom.
