O uso da teoria da autodeterminação no contexto da gamificação: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The Self-Determination Theory (Self-Determination Theory – SDT) was designed with the aim of studying the links between personality, human motivation and optimal functioning. Presenting two kinds of motivation, the intrinsic and the extrinsic, it was from these constructs that the theory started to be explored combined with gamification. Based on the combination of these themes, a literature review was performed to understand how SDT is used in associated with gamification. The terms "self-determination theory" OR "self determination theory" AND "gamification" and ("self-determination theory" OR "self determination theory") AND ("gamification") were used to perform the data search. For this study, articles and papers published in annals were considered. These were submitted to exclusion criteria and the final bank was analyzed with the aid of the software Iramuteq. It was found that the SDT associated with gamification started to be explored in 2014 and later other works were developed. It is an area that has been growing in recent years, related to areas such as education, health and work.
