A experiência imersiva do ensino de matemática através da gamificação

Abstract

Seeking to provide teachers with new paths in the context of mathematics education, this work aims to address the functioning of an active intervention methodology in basic education, especially in high school, in the field of gamification. The justification for discussing this topic is evident in the urgency of mathematics education to update its teaching methodologies and assessments, aiming to develop motivation and engagement of students in classroom activities.

Gamification proves to be a promising methodology in this aspect, since it brings to the school routine the elements of digital games, so common among young people today, in the search to use such elements as a pedagogical resource that enhances motivation, focus, interest and consequently greater learning on the part of students in the subject of mathematics. We will present the socio-historical concepts of gamification, its operational structure, as well as suggestions for activities for its use based on Flow Theory as a theoretical foundation.
