Gamificação para o ensino de equação de 2º grau em tempos de pandemia

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the reality of teaching and learning in Brazil. And the way in which it reached Education in the context of private schools was not the same for public schools, as students and teachers did not have the technological resources and infrastructure that would guarantee them the continuation of learning in their school year throughout the pandemic. Thus, the present work aims to analyze the contributions and effectiveness of gamification for the process of learning equation of the 2nd degree in the 9th of Elementary School, considering the skills provided by the BNCC. Through a qualitative research, with a bibliographic survey and a case study with pedagogical intervention, we developed a didactic sequence composed of activities that address the 2nd degree equation, highlighting gamification. As a research instrument, we used two forms created in google forms, and 2 games, one elaborated using the Quizziz (online) platform addressing introductory aspects to the study of equations and another was elaborated using a board that presented areas of advancement with different themes. The instrument was applied with students from a municipal school in Maceió, Alagoas. After applying the first form, difficulties were identified in the interpretation and understanding of the algebraic language. In addition, they presented errors in solving 1st degree polynomial equations and in operations with integers. In this way, two moments were used to make these approaches to operations with integers, and understanding of the mathematical language with the study of monomials and solving 1st degree equations. In both classes, different methodologies were used, such as the inverted classroom, and the use of platforms such as Eddpuzzle that could arouse interest and facilitate learning. After these moments, the use of gamification was started, as a strategy adopted to stimulate the interest and consequent learning of students. It was verified with the application of the didactic sequence that included gamification, an improvement in the learning of the content of the 2nd degree equation, in addition to the motivation and engagement of students in the execution of the proposed activities
