O uso da gamificação no ensino de potenciação: contribuições para a aprendizagem matemática

Abstract

The new generations are immersed in the technological universe, asdigital resources are part of their daily lives and manifest in different social andeducational contexts. In this sense, it is essential to incorporate these elements intotheschool environment to foster student engagement and learning. Fromthis perspective, thisresearch proposes the development of a gamified didactic sequence focusedontheteaching of exponentiation, a mathematical topic that often presents significantdifficulties for students but is fundamental for understanding moreadvancedconcepts. The following research question guides the study: Howdo gamification-based teaching sequences support empowerment learning among elementaryschool students?” The main objective is to broaden the pedagogical repertoireofMathematics teachers by providing resources that combine the teachingofexponentiation with gamification strategies. The educational product consistsof adidactic sequence of gamified activities aimed at teaching the aforementionedcontent, to be made available to teachers as a pedagogical guide.Theproposal tointegrate active methodologies, such as gamification, into the teachingofmathematical content proved to be not only a strategy for engagement, but alsoaway to redefine the school environment, making it a fertile spacefor studentleadership and the collective construction of knowledge.
