Jornada animal : um jogo Web para auxiliar no aprendizado dos alunos do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, several areas of society have begun to incorporate digital solutions aimed at simplifying routines, improving processes, and making experiences more dynamic and accessible. In education, this movement has enabled new ways of teaching and learning, especially through digital games and active methodologies that emphasize the student’s active participation in the learning process. In this context, this study proposes the development of Jornada Animal, a web-based educational game aimed at Elementary School students, with the goal of promoting learning in a playful, interactive, and interdisciplinary manner. The game includes six main modules corresponding to the subjects of Portuguese Language, Mathematics, Biology, History, Geography, and English. Each module is structured in multiple progressive phases, aligned with curricular content, allowing students to advance as they build new knowledge. To support the project, market research was conducted in app stores, along with a literature review on ludicity and gamification, and an analysis of contemporary pedagogical practices outlined in the BNCC. The findings indicated that, although educational games are available, few offer an integrated, crosssubject proposal with clear pedagogical progression and alignment with school curricula. In this sense, Jornada Animal presents itself as an innovative and easily accessible solution via web browser, eliminating technical barriers such as installation or storage issues. Currently, the solution is in a functional version and available for immediate use at: https://matfs06.github.io/game_jornada_animal/. The application of Jornada Animal in school or home environments is expected to assist in the retention of curricular content intuitively, transforming mistakes into learning stages and enhancing student engagement through an immersive educational experience.
