Gamificação no processo de aprendizagem : desenvolvimento e aplicação de uma plataforma lúdica educacional

Abstract

This work presents the development of an educational mobile application that employs gamification and mini-games as a pedagogical strategy to support the teaching and learning process. The application was conceived with the central objective of making learning more accessible, fostering student engagement and active participation through playful approaches. To support its development, an analysis of existing solutions and theoretical foundations that sustain the use of playful elements in the educational context was conducted. Based on this foundation, the application was designed and implemented as an adaptable platform in which educators can create their own courses. As a result, a viable solution was obtained that seeks to explore the potential of applying gamification mechanics in the teaching process. Although significant advances have been made, stages such as validation with different user profiles remain as proposals for future work. Nevertheless, the developed system represents a step toward the adoption of active methodologies supported by technology, providing a basis for further investigations and improvements.
