A Gamificação aplicada em Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem: uma proposta de engajamento no contexto da aprendizagem de Cálculo

Abstract

In E-learning, keeping students motivated to perform the activities is a great challenge, thus proposing models of subjects in which the Virtual Learning Environment has the ability to positively influence the motivation of these students is a learning strategy. Given the above, this work aims to investigate and implement gamification as an engagement strategy in the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment, with a view to teaching and learning calculus B. The methodology adopted for this study consists of an action research, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, in which the object of study are students of the degree in mathematics E-learning course who take the subject. The qualitative data were analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis methodology (2012). To achieve the research objectives, the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) was used to construct the instructional design of the Gamification pedagogical sequence in the Moodle LMS. As a result of the proposed objective, it was observed that Gamification had a positive impact on students, generating greater engagement and motivation in the completion of the implemented course activities.
