Revolucionando o ensino de história - O papel dos jogos digitais no ensino fundamental II e ensino médio

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of digital games on History teaching, focusing on Elementary II and High School students. The main objective was to identify how these games can increase students' interest and improve their understanding of historical periods, transforming traditional teaching. The methodology used was an integrative review, with a qualitative and exploratory approach, which allows a detailed and critical view of research on the use of digital games in the educational context. The searches were carried out between August and September 2024, using the descriptors: "Gamification", "History Teaching", "Educational Games", "Digital Games" and "Immersive Learning", in bases such as Google Scholar and EAD em Foco, considering studies published between 2017 and 2024. The results suggest that, when used appropriately in the school curriculum, digital games can make classes more dynamic and awaken greater motivation in students. This practice also encourages more autonomous and critical learning, allowing students to deepen their knowledge of historical themes in a more active and engaged way).
