Game das Medidas: integração entre gamificação e EMAI para o ensino do sistema monetário

Abstract

This article is derived from the master’s dissertation by Gallo (2022), developed within the Graduate Program in Teaching for Basic Education at UNESP. The study aimed to analyze the contributions and limitations of Game das Medidas - a gamified digital game linked to the Mathematics Education in Early Grades (EMAI) material - in teaching the monetary system to 3rd-grade elementary school students. The qualitative research, based on the action-research methodology, involved the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a didactic sequence mediated by the game in a public municipal school in the interior of São Paulo. The results showed significant progress in understanding the monetary system, greater student engagement, and strengthened teacher mediation. The findings highlight that the use of EMAI and gamification broadens pedagogical possibilities and underscores the importance of teacher training for the critical use of educational technologies.
