O uso da gamificação para o ensino de polinômios no 8º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the potential of Gamification for teaching polynomials in the 8th grade of Elementary School. Through a qualitative research, based on a bibliographic survey followed by a case study, we carried out a pedagogical intervention with the application of a gamified didactic sequence, using resources such as Google Forms, Qr Code, Kahoot, containing four blocks that seek to remedy the difficulties that students have in learning Algebra content, more specifically in the content of polynomials in the 8th year of Elementary School, such as reading and interpreting polynomial problems and operations. From this, we analyze the potential of Gamification in the learning process of these contents. The research results showed that there was an improvement in the learning of the content of polynomials, as well as in relation to the motivation factor after the application of the gamified didactic sequence, but the students still had difficulties in solving problems. Finally, it is necessary for the teacher to plan classes with gamification considering the profile of their students, adequacy of the mathematical content to the proposed activities and forms of evaluation to verify the effectiveness of the methodology in the learning process.
