Mestres da produção: jogo didático para formação acadêmica e profissional em engenharia de produção

Abstract

Traditional methods of training industry professionals, as well as classroom instruction of students, are often instructor-centered, with a theoretical emphasis in training sessions, causing student performance to suffer. The central research problem is the lack of innovative teaching methods that are effective in transmitting production engineering concepts in industrial and academic environments. With this, the objective is to develop and apply a didactic game that serves as a teaching tool. The method used was the modeling of a didactic board game using the Genially and Canva tools containing five thematic areas of production engineering, namely: quality; operations and projects; logistics; ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and Occupational Safety and ergonomics. The questions in this didactic game are divided into three types: objective, true and false and essays. The prototype was tested with a group of Engineering academics to evaluate its effectiveness, engagement, learning and practical applicability. The results indicated that the educational game not only facilitated the understanding of complex concepts, but also increased participants' motivation and interest in the content covered. It is concluded that the development and application of educational games represent an innovative and effective pedagogical strategy for teaching Production Engineering, contributing to the training of professionals who are better prepared to face the challenges of the industrial market.
