A remixagem de jogos digitais na educação física escolar : experiências na formação e na atuação profissional

Abstract

This study highlights the potential of digital game remixing as a redefined element of student culture, innovatively integrated into physical education, capable of promoting active lifestyles, and serving as a possible effective tool in combating absenteeism in practical classes. The approach not only enriches the educational process but also prepares students to face the challenges of the contemporary digital world. The aim of this study is to understand how game remixing, carried out in Physical Education contexts, intersects with the Brazilian Media Education Strategy. This is a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, employing participant observation. Thus, we define it, as we fully immersed ourselves in nine experiences of digital game remixing in Physical Education training and practice. We systematically characterized the studied phenomenon through field notes. The results indicate that digital game remixing can be an effective strategy to engage students and promote active lifestyles. Benefits include reduced interaction time with mobile devices, the development of motor and cognitive skills, and the promotion of social interaction and fair play. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of teacher training in incorporating innovative and accessible pedagogical practices into school physical education. The research points to the potential of digital game remixing in school physical education, emphasizing the importance of teacher training and the careful selection of games tailored to students' needs.
