Gamificação no ensino de programação

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze how gamification can contribute to expanding access to programming education in Brazil. Gamification is a technique that uses game elements to motivate and engage students in the learning process. The research was carried out through a systematic literature review, where articles and studies related to the topic were analyzed. The results indicated that gamification can be an effective tool for making programming teaching more accessible and attractive. Gamification can be applied in different ways, such as creating games that teach programming, using rewards to recognize student progress, and creating healthy competitions to encourage student participation and engagement. It is concluded that gamification can be a promising strategy to increase the access and interest of children and adolescents in learning programming. There is a growth in research at Brazilian universities that seek to expand the potential of gamification in teaching programming.
