Ensino de História: gamificação, uso de recursos tecnológicos como metodologia aplicada em sala de aula

Abstract

This research aims to present the dynamics of the use of information and communication technologies within the current educational process, addressing new teaching methodologies for the discipline of History in view of this new context and the need to incorporate technological resources, with powerful allies in the process of teaching learning. Education has undergone significant changes in recent decades, and the student has gained new attributions within this process, including the figure of the active and contributing subject in the construction of knowledge, inside and outside the classroom. Based on this assumption, the research analyzes gamification as a methodology strategy to work electronic games in order to corroborate the contents of the History discipline. I present the Call of Duty®: WWII game and its representation of the Second World War and the possibility of dialogue with historiography, giving suggestions for using the theme of games in the classroom, showing the possibility of working this approach to games without prejudice in the teaching and learning process. One of the main objectives of the study is to include electronic games as a reference that is closer to the students, enabling a more productive dialogue between the school and the technological environment, bringing a clearer and more contextualized language, in order to obtain better performance from students in the discipline of History and thus contributing more actively to the autonomous process of knowledge construction by students, problematizing everyday elements based on a more dynamic and active teaching approach.
