Gameficação como perspectiva didática no ensino de história: a expansão marítima portuguesa no quatrocentos

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the gamefication as a didactic perspective in history teaching, under the theme of the Portuguese maritime expansion in the four hundred. In order to respond to this scenario, a documental and bibliographic research was used, based on scientific papers and official documents, for the survey, data collection, and qualitative data analysis. The results showed that the gamefication was used by the applications and that the game mechanics can be used from the didactic transposition in history teaching. It is then concluded that the gamefication as a didactic perspective is viable and its use in history teaching is adequate, considering the playfulness in teaching and the stimulus in the students, when learning with pleasure, fun, and joy.
