Um jogo sério para avaliar a aprendizagem do aluno com deficiência intelectual no uso de periféricos

Abstract

Intellectual development disorder affects several areas in the lives of students with intellectual disabilities, including poor school performance. In addition, individuals with intellectual disabilities have difficulties in performing basic tasks, when it comes to activities that require the use of motor skills. In the educational context, the need to create technological tools aimed at evaluating this audience in the use of peripherals is notorious. Serious gaming is an example of a tool that allows for greater student engagement and can be built with gamification elements such as avatar and scoring. This work developed a serious game with gamification elements that allows evaluating the evolution of the student with intellectual disabilities in the use of mouse and keyboard peripherals. The proposed challenges stimulate fine motor coordination, which is assessed using motor assessment techniques proposed in the literature. The game, called AliCharlie, is in the form of a book with three chapters and consists of several challenges related to the content on the theme of Food Safety, in particular, conventional, organic and transgenic foods. The evaluation of the game was carried out by educators from a school of teaching modality for young people and adults with intellectual disabilities aged between 18 and 60 years old and the result was satisfactory considering the challenges, images, objective of the game, among other characteristics.
