Ameaça de estereótipo de gênero afeta o desânimo, fluxo e desempenho em um sistema tutor gamificado para lógica?

Abstract

Gamification is an approach that is increasingly being adopted in educational settings to improve student engagement, motivation, and learning. However, previous studies in the literature reported that gender stereotype threats in gamified educational environments could have negative effects on students, such as anxiety. In this sense, this paper aims to conduct an experimental study to empirically investigate whether stereotype threat in gamified educational en- environments can cause discouragement. We conducted an experimental study, applied a logic test to higher education students in a gamified educational platform, and afterward, they answered a questionnaire to assess students’ discouragement in different scenarios. The results suggest that a stereotyped gamified environment can affect participants’ dejection.
