Gamificação como estratégia de ensino: estudo de caso sobre a disciplina Informática Industrial “A”.

Abstract

The present work presents the documentation of the implementation of a complete game system, using gamification elements in the exposition of contents and in the construction of activities related to the discipline Industrial Informatics "A", offered by the Department of Electric Energy Processing and belonging to the current curriculum from the Control and Automation Engineering course at the Federal University of Santa Maria. Through a research on the resources available in several gamification platforms, the Classcraft virtual platform was defined for the construction of the main game environment and the Wordwall platform was used in the elaboration of auxiliary resources. The construction of the complete gamification environment is based on the programming and configuration of the resources present on the platforms and the creation of contents and activities that will be proposed to the students. The implementation of the game environment is based on a defined game map, where missions and steps are distributed that define the game path to be carried out. Aiming to maximize motivational effects in the teaching-learning process and based on well-defined and thoroughly documented concepts and references, the implementation of the complete gamification system has conclusive and reliable results.
