Games na sala de aula: formação discente e docente

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to show that there is the possibility of working new forms of teaching, mainly with few resources. We have a very technological society, already fully adapted to the new forms of communication and interaction, but in the encounter with the pedagogical doing, there are still many doubts and difficulties, first, regarding the access to media material. In this sense, the proposal of the work itself is to give time and voice to the common classroom, of public school in the periphery, and to be able to foment the discussion on the applicability of these new ways of doing the process of teaching and learning. There is a latent need to find alternatives to make the traditional school again pleasurable for learners, but it is necessary to think of methods that are effective and simple, that do not depend on major economic influences, or that need the gigantic waiting for the public power that keeps the school. To think of education as a transforming source of the reality of young people, especially the periphery, is essential in helping them to develop as citizens of the world, agents of a possible transformation of the social, political and economic reality to which they are inserted. Games are the language of the young person, and one of their possibilities of leisure in a society that excludes them by the scarce financial resources preventing them from participating in certain schedules and also a resource that allows them to be inserted in an increasingly determinant network of the people today that are smartphones.
