Aplicação da gamificação para o ensino de engenharia de produção

Abstract

With the introduction of technology and innovations in education, teaching has changed considerably in recent decades. Thus, in an increasingly technological world, it is necessary to look for alternatives in education that combine theory with practice, providing a more stimulating learning for the student. In this context, gamification emerges, an active methodology that consists of the use of game elements in an educational context, proposing that students effectively participate in the teaching-learning process, not acting just as an agent receiving knowledge. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose a game that includes the ten areas of Production Engineering for the teaching and learning of students of the first year of the course. For the development process of this game, a prototype was initially developed and tested. With the game developed, a group of volunteer specialists was assembled to validate and collect suggestions and opinions about the game and, afterwards, some of the suggestions were implemented. Finally, gamification proved to be effective as an active teaching methodology according to the analyzed studies and the validation of the game by the specialists. Therefore, it was suggested the application of the game in the subsequent semester and a planning for this application was created.
