GAMIFICATION IN THE SOCIOINTERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE: a case study in the learning of the additive field.
Gamification. Sociointeractionism. Additive Field.
The concept that learning takes place only through a fixed curriculum has led Mathematics Teaching, for years, to apply directive approaches that do not value the students' prior knowledge, promoting little or no interaction in the classroom. On the other hand, Active Methodologies are based on the premise that the learner builds his own knowledge. However, when trying to bring the metaphor of games to the classroom, the educator can only reproduce directive methodologies based on memorization. With this, it becomes a great challenge for the contemporary Educator to implement the metaphors of games (gamification) in an interactive perspective. Thus, this work aims to provide contributions to the understanding of gamification under this perspective in the context of learning the additive field in the early years. Thus, we propose a redesign of the traditional concepts of gamification in the socio-interactionist view, verifying how the contributions of a Gamified Didactic Sequence (SDG) occur under this perspective, seeking to identify whether gamification, in the proposed perspective, contributes to learning in the additive field. The research was carried out through a qualitative approach with a research-intervention approach, using reasoned participant observation, the field diary and audiovisual materials (photos, videos and written activities) in data collection, as well as the analysis of content with respect to the collected data. The results of this research show that students advanced in understanding problem solving involving the meanings related to the additive field, in particular, in understanding the concepts of joining, adding, removing, separating, comparing and completing quantities through a SDG conceived from of this proposal. As a product of this research, we developed a SDG based on the story of the three little pigs, for use by teachers in Elementary School I.
