O uso da gamificação na aprendizagem: estudo de caso de Língua Inglesa no 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental.

Abstract

The article is a case study on the use of gamification as a tool to help English language learning, with students in the 6th year of elementary school II, in a public school in the district of Carmo do Macacoari, located in the municipality of Itaubal, as well as how to identify the conceptions that these students have regarding the inclusion and use of these resources in English classes. It is also intended to evaluate how the use of these tools influence the students' motivation to learn and perform the proposed tasks, in addition to analyzing the benefits that the interaction of student players can bring to the teaching and learning of the English language. Therefore, we perceive that the popularization of technology and the increase in the quantity and quality of games and digital resources have encountered resistance regarding the use of these technological resources as tools to aid learning. Therefore, it becomes relevant to study the insertion of these resources in classroom practices in order to assess their benefits and potentialities. It was concluded that gamification as a teaching tool is a necessary educational resource for English language classes, as it allows students to be in contact with something that is already their reality.
