Desenvolvimento de um projeto de piloto de um jogo eletrônico para o auxílio do ensino da matemática: frações no 7º ano do ensino fundamental II

Abstract

This work has a scope focused on mathematical learning, with the aim of to develop the pilot project of a tool that helps in learning through through technology, an electronic game, aiming to reach a target audience of Fundamental II, for teaching the content of fractions. A certain difficulty related to this content, caused by different factors, such as thoughts that mathematics is something complex, that teachers have difficulties in expressing the teaching of fractions clearly and also in how the difficulties in mathematics refer to the student's cognitive development. THE elaboration of the pilot project of a game to aid in the learning, has as main objective to develop a tool that helps in the learning of students; and as more specific objectives; the introduction of a new methodology for learning aid; that identifies the difficulties and facilities of the students aimed at to this content of fractions and that mainly facilitates the student's mastery of this subject, also allows students to have contact with the contents in practice, with the purpose of assimilating a new dynamic, which is gamification, the methodology of gamification is based on evolution, conquest, advancement and realization of steps within the proposed game, having as a bargain the prize and the recognition as retribution, being similar to the application of recreational activities, thus being considered a new form of aid for learning. The data for the research were obtained through a questionnaire provided to 3 adolescents 13 to 16 years old, who later participated in the game, the results were very positive, according to the graphs presented in the survey, it is possible to notice that through the use of the electronic game the students were able to succeed in the content, presenting small error rates. Keywords: Fractions. Technology. Learning. Gamification.
