AMBIENTE VIRTUAL DE APRENDIZAGEM COM JOGOS ELETRÔNICOS EDUCATIVOS EM AULAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: POR UMA CULTURA DIGITAL

Abstract

This research was developed based on the theme “The influence of educational technology on Basic Education” which was delimited by the title “Virtual Learning Environment with educational electronic games in Physical Education classes: towards a digital culture”. The choice of the theme came from the impossibility of holding the Internal Games of the State Colleges of the Military Police of Goiás (JINCOM) in person during the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus. In view of this, the feasibility of virtually carrying out these interclass games in an exclusive or hybrid way was considered, using a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) with educational electronic games. This modern educational approach aims to give effect to the normative commands provided for in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education – LDB, in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), which required innovative pedagogical practices for the development of competence 5 “Digital Culture”, as well as in Decree No. 6.300/2007, which established the National Educational Technology Program – Proinfo, with the purpose of disseminating the pedagogical use of information and communication technologies in public Basic Education networks. In this sense, the general objective of the study was to check the impacts of using a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) with educational electronic games in Physical Education classes for Elementary School (PE) and the specific ones were: to analyze the historical panorama regarding use of educational technology in Brazilian Basic Education; raise the knowledge, acceptance and needs of teachers and students regarding the use of a VLE with educational electronic games in the teaching and learning process; and evaluate the effects of applying this VLE in Physical Education classes for 7th year PE students. The methodology was structured in stages: 1st) bibliographical review on the history of the use of educational technology in Basic Education and preparation of questionnaires; 2nd) application of an initial questionnaire to participants, tabulation and analysis of collected data; 3rd) creation and application of the Educational Product (PE), a VLE with electronic educational Physical Education games for the 7th year of PE; and 4th) application of a final questionnaire to participants, tabulation and analysis of the results achieved using the NP. The findings allowed us to infer that the use of PE contributed significantly to the optimization of student learning, as well as to the teacher's work, demonstrating that it is an efficient and effective pedagogical resource, especially considering the current scenario, which demands an update of educational strategies based on in emerging technologies.
