Gamificação na educação: explorando o uso de jogos digitais no processo de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the use of gamification, through digital games, as a pedagogical strategy in the teaching-learning process. The research adopted a qualitative approach, supported by quantitative data, and was characterized as an action research. The intervention was carried out with high school students using the CodeCombat platform and an interactive map developed in Roblox. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The results indicated high levels of engagement, motivation, and student participation, as well as contributions to the understanding of basic programming and logic concepts. It is concluded that gamification, when properly planned, is an effective strategy to make the teaching process more dynamic, interactive, and meaningful.
