Inclusão e diversidade na educação: polliville, um jogo educacional no roblox

Abstract

In the educational context, marked by challenges related to inclusion and respect for differences, the need for tools that address diversity in a playful and accessible manner becomes evident. The school, as a formative space, plays a fundamental role in building a more equitable and democratic society, promoting respect for diverse identities related to gender, race, sexuality, and disability. However, many institutions lack innovative methodologies that engage students and address such themes in a meaningful way. In this scenario, this work presents the creation of an educational digital game on the Roblox platform. The proposal combines narrative and interactivity, allowing players to explore concepts of diversity and inclusion in a dynamic and engaging virtual environment. Through a storyline that places diversity at its core, the game aims to promote reflections and learning about empathy and respect for differences, aligning with the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC) and Brazilian educational legislation. The game stands out for its accessibility, enabling its use both in the school environment and in other contexts, thanks to the versatility of the Roblox platform. Thus, it is hoped that the game will not only increase student engagement with the theme but also contribute to the formation of more aware individuals who are prepared to experience and value diversity in a plural and inclusive society.
