O livro-jogo como ferramenta lúdica, matemática e tecnológica no desenvolvimento de habilidades

Abstract

The present project aims to introduce a gamebook and to show the possibilities of using it as a teaching material. Our work was based on the analysis of documents and guidelines, such as the Common National Curriculum Base, the National Curriculum Parameters and the Informational and Media Literacy, and in the use of the scientific literature as reference. Then, we placed four major pillars as our guides: playful Mathematics, distracted learning, insertion of technology and development of skills and competences. We present the concept of distracted learning, suggesting “Games” as an example of approach. The use of playful games in classrooms has intensified, as they motivate students during the learning process. Through its resources, the use of technology can help the student to look at things from different perspectives and to develop abstract mathematical thinking. We proposed activities that allow the engagement of students in the face of the dynamism of technologies. We also intended to enable the development of skills through a playful game that uses technology. We plan to assess that the students’ progress is not limited to the acquisition of school content, but that it also includes the development of skills and competences. Although the methodologies arising from these four fields can be explored in isolation, we tried to connect them and concluded that the gamebook is a tool that connects these four areas. In the role of a playful game applied with the assistance of technology, the gamebook develops a series of cognitive, social, affective, emotional skills and competences, in addition to autonomy and teamwork. Thus, a copy of our gamebook, prepared by the author of this dissertation, was made available, as well as guidelines for the manufacture of copies of this type of material.
