O USO DAS TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS DE INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO PARA TRABALHO COM A EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL

Abstract

In the present text, we will presents a course research, based on an extension project, carried out at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory Teacher’s Formation (ILTF) of the Instituto Federal Goiano, Campus Rio Verde, whose objective was to work the use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (TDIC) in the process of teaching and learning of science, through the bias of environmental education, in the final years of elementary school, in schools of Basic Education, in the countryside and in the city of Rio Verde, GO. Highlighting that TDIC refers to various instruments, such as notebooks, digital videos, digital photographs, e-mails, cable TV, internet, mobile phone, audio and video recording, multimedia systems, among others. In the TDCI universe, we were opted for the creation of electronic games, to be developed through Engine Construct 2 (HTML5 Game Engine) and RPG Maker MV. Construct 2 and RPG Maker software / Engine were created for the development of 2D games in HTML5, where the programming of the games is based on events and actions, requiring the programmer a strategic logic. Such software allows export to various platforms, such as consoles (PS3, Xbox360), computers, mobile devices, among others. The project was developed in three stages: 1) construction of games; 2) application and evaluation together to students of basic education and 3) Application of games. After the application of the games, questionnaires were applied in order to see the approval rate of the practices. Overall, there was good acceptability regarding the games by students and many would like to be able to access the game from their homes. Then the learning became innovative, thus achieving all the project objectives.
