Análise da aplicação do aprendizado baseado em jogos no contexto remoto: o caso da disciplina de projeto e construção da infraestrutura viária

Abstract

In the teaching-learning context of engineering, there have been more and more debates that question the traditional and merely expository models of teaching. Debates about the student's role in the classroom and the motivation of the students become even more relevant in the context caused by the pandemic of COVID-19. With the suspension of face-to-face classes, teachers and students were forced to migrate to online platforms, continuing their didactic activities through remote education. At the center of these debates, there is the rise of several teaching methodologies that seek to involve students, placing them as protagonists of learning. In this line, the Game-Based Learning stands out in this work, a methodology referring to the use of the power of motivation and entertainment of games aimed at teaching. Thus, the objective of this article is to share an application of the pedagogical strategy of learning based on games and to evaluate its contribution in a class of the discipline of Design and Construction of Road Infrastructure (PCIV) offered in the totally remote model in 2020. For the application of the games, the kahoot tool for the application of rapid tests of multiple choice about the content seen in the course was used. The results reinforce the students' positive perception about the Game-Based Learning methodology since the students considered the games fun and the activities contributed to consolidate the subjects seen in the classes.
