Desafios na escola : uma proposta de plataforma multidisciplinar gamificada apoiada na aprendizagem ativa

Abstract

This research proposed the development of a gamified multidisciplinary platform for the school context, aiming to promote Active Learning and the resolution of interdisciplinary challenges. The integration of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and gamification elements has been increasingly consolidated in the educational environment, fostering new forms of engagement and participation for students and teachers. Active Learning principles were explored to stimulate student protagonism and the development of critical and collaborative skills. The multidisciplinary approach sought to integrate different areas of knowledge, preparing students to face real and complex problems. In this context, gamification was employed as a tool to transform the learning environment into a more dynamic, attractive, and interactive space. The theoretical foundations of this study were supported by authors such as Hamari, Kapp, Alves, Minho, Diniz, Perrenoud, Papert, Brennan, and Resnick. The central research question investigated how a gamified multidisciplinary platform could be designed to address engagement challenges and promote knowledge retention among Basic Education students. A qualitative research-action methodology was adopted, with a pedagogical intervention conducted in a Basic Education school, involving classes from the 6th to the 9th grade of Middle School and from the 1st to the 3rd year of High School. The platform was implemented progressively, articulating the principles of active learning, gamification, and curricular integration. The intervention included 14 stages, covering implementation, familiarization, testing, challenge development, practical application, and data collection. Students participated in a Knowledge Olympiad, solving gamified challenges in different areas with the support of digital technologies. Data analysis employed measures of central tendency and metrics extracted from the platform. The findings suggest that the proposed platform represents a viable and effective alternative for integrating digital technologies and active methodologies in schools, meeting the demands of contemporary education and promoting a positive impact on student engagement and knowledge retention.
