O jogo na aprendizagem da língua materna, 5º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Learning Portuguese as a mother tongue is presented as a fundamental subject in alphabetization inside the school, and it must be learnt by every child, which does not mean that this is an easy task, considering that it is one of the most difficult languages due to the fact that it contains many norms and specificities. The proposition of this research is to develop the correct writing of words through the use of educational software as a means to facilitate the learning of the substantive classification of words. For this purpose, exercises for the verification of knowledge related to substantive classification have been applied before and after using the game, in order to quantify the improvement -or its lack thereofin the learning process, besides the observation of the work performed by the students during the procedures. After analyzing the obtained data, a meaningful improvement in learning has been perceived in most students concerning substantive classification after playing the game, and a greater understanding of classification, the to the fact that the game allowed the student to think and reflect about his or her answers and to try again in case he or she failed. During the game it has been observed that the students interacted and shared knowledge, clarified doubts among themselves and had fun playing and learning, which they readily confirmed when questioned. Finally, thanks to this study, it became very clear that using games to aid the learning process can bring students closer to the construction of their own knowledge, because it is an element that belongs to the universe of the child, it is dynamic and does not provide a ready answer, but it makes children think.
