TABLI: protótipo de aplicativo gamificado para construção de Tesauros

Abstract

This research proposes a digital educational tool through an application with gamification elements for use in mobile devices to teach the discipline of Alphabetical Documentary Languages (LDA), using the "Integrated Methodological Model for the Construction of Thesaurus" proposed by Cervantes (2009) ) that through his thesis compiles the process of construction of thesauri in five stages: Preliminary work; Compilation method; Registration of terms; Verification of terms and form of presentation of a thesaurus. It is justified by the absence of a digital educational platform adapted to the current technological demand for teaching and learning the construction of thesauri, as well as new teaching methodologies in the scope of Documentary Languages. In view of this, the use of an application for mobile devices through gamification as an educational tool is suggested. Develops a prototype of the application named "Tabli" with gamification elements for building Thesaurus. This research is qualitative of experimental character. We used Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011) and prototyping (PRESSMAN, 2006) to achieve its objectives. In its final considerations, it emphasizes the importance of new teaching tools for the disciplines of Information Representation, especially the LDA, with the intention of continuing the development of the "Tabli" application for evaluation and effective use, contributing to the area of Science information and the accessibility made possible by it. This product, still in the embryonic phase, will be of great applicability considering that the current dynamics of the society demand alternative and also inclusive methodologies, through the accessibility, to potentiate the teaching and learning in the construction of thesauri, since it is believed that adding the "Integrated Methodological Model for the Construction of a Thesaurus" by Cervantes (2009) to mobile technology brings the advantages of process automation, as well as the motivation and engagement of the students, as well as being an interactive and innovative form of application for the area Organization and Representation of Knowledge.
