Criando jogos digitais educativos na Amazônia Tocantina: entre rios e quilombos cibercametaenses.

Abstract

This work presents research that highlights the feasibility of creating educational digital games to enhance/connect teachers and students in the teaching-learning process. For this investigation, we dialogue with the principles of research-Zraining in cyberculture, as exposed by Edméa Santos (2019), from the perspective of "device" according to Jacques Ardoino (1998), and the notion of <thinking-doing= by Nilda Alves ( 2012). In the context of the research, we developed training devices using the Clickteam Fusion 2.5 software, involving students from two high schools in Cametá (PA): the State High School Professor Heriberto Barroso Aragão, located in the rural area, in Vila de Juaba, whose students participated in the development of a digital game that tells the story of the quilombola leader Felipa Maria Aranha, and the Full-Time Teaching School Abraão Simão Jatene, located in the urban area, whose students participated in a Permanent Affinity Project ( PPA) entitled Creation of Educational Digital Games. Our objective is to problematize, train and empower students and teachers through the creation of digital games for educational purposes. Despite challenges, such as the lack of adequate infrastructure to carry out the project, the unpreparedness of some students as they are digital immigrants and the prejudice of some educators towards digital games, the participants in this research were able to develop applications for cell phones and computers . As a result, the research demonstrated not only the cybercultural inclusion of the participants, but also the creation of authorial devices, educational digital games in the context of daily life in Cametá.
