Uso de tecnologias digitais no ambiente educacional através da utilização de jogos: um mapeamento tecnológico

Abstract

The use of games in the educational environment promotes the insertion of technologies in the process of teaching learning, contributing to the development of students in the classroom. The objective of this work was to carry out a technological mapping through patents related to games used in education, to verify the evolution of patent deposits. Regarding the methodology, the research was based on a survey of patent deposits through the database of the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), using the keywords "educational games" in the title and abstract fields. The data revealed deposits from 1995 to 2013, and the year 2004 had the largest number of deposits. It was also realized the need to invest in the development of technological production, to build new teaching tools, with interactive games to improve the educational environment.
