Práticas educativas em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem: possibilidades de gamificação na educação profssional e tecnológica

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify the contributions of gamification applied in VLE Moodle, based on a digital teaching guide, to the planning and structuring of gamified activities by teachers of integrated technical courses at the IFMS Naviraí campus. The research is of an applied nature, with a qualitative approach, and classified as descriptive in terms of its objectives. Data was collected using an online questionnaire answered by 17 teachers from the campus. The educational product developed was a digital guide, in website format, which guides the creation of gamified environments in Moodle. The validation process was carried out with the participation of nine teachers, who tested the product and gave feedback. The results indicated that, although teachers are familiar with Moodle, its use remains limited to basic functionalities, such as making digital files available. Gamification, on the other hand, proved to be a promising approach to enriching the use of the platform, offering new resources that can motivate students and broaden pedagogical possibilities. The study reinforces the importance of training teachers in the use of gamification strategies in order to maximize its potential in the context of professional and technological education.
