Gamificação no processo de aprendizagem: recurso de motivação para realização de exercícios baseado no modelo Arcs

Abstract

In the academic setting, question sets are important tools for content retention, but they often face low student motivation due to their repetitive nature. However, vídeo games demonstrate high efficiency in motivating players to complete tasks. The objective of this paper was to explore how game design elements can be applied to increase student engagement. To this end, mechanics from RPG, Ville-games, and idle-game genres were identified, analyzing their motivational potential based on the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction). The methodology involved the creation of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) prototype and conducting tests and interviews with students. The results confirmed the effectiveness of gamification as a motivational supplement for completing exercises. It is concluded that, although technical limitations prevented the implementation of all the mechanics studied, the approach presents itself as a viable strategy for Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL), with potential for more in-depth future research.
