Jogo lúdico para alunos dos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental com transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH)

Abstract

Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently face significant challenges in concentration and focus during pedagogical activities. Given this problem, the present work is justified by the need to develop and implement innovative pedagogical strategies to improve the educational experience and academic results of these students, promoting inclusion in the school environment. To achieve the desired results, it is essential to follow certain objectives. Beginning with the general objective, which aimed to develop a playful game in web format, using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to aid in the memorization and concentration of students with ADHD. The specific objectives included understanding ADHD, investigating how playful games can assist students with ADHD , deepening knowledge of the programming languages to be used, and creating a prototype of a memorization game. The methodology adopted followed a development cycle based on the lean model, divided into three phases: requirements and planning, prototype development, and testing and djustments. The research was classified as an exploratory case study. The results obtained were the creation of a memorization and concentration game prototype, accessible via the web, which presents progressively challenging color sequences. The game was designed to aid in the memorization and concentration of students, with the purpose of becoming an effective and easily accessible educational tool. Finally, it was concluded that the developed game represents a valuable tool for the cognitive development of children with ADHD, as such a game is needed given the scarcity of tools focused on students with ADHD in the current educational scenario.
