TEACHER TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT: non-negotiable factors for student learning success

Abstract

In Brazil, basic education is compulsory and aims to guarantee the comprehensive education of students from four to seventeen years of age, promoting the development of skills and abilities necessary for citizenship and the continuation of studies. Literacy in basic education is essential, achieved through traditional teaching methodologies or active methodologies such as gamification, which is treated as an innovative pedagogical approach to teaching via educational games and chatbots that keep students engaged and stimulated. In this sense, the objective of this research is to analyze the effects of gamification on the learning process from the teacher's point of view, since to teach, teachers need to learn in a practical and contextualized way, improving their knowledge and skills in challenging situations. The methodology relied on recently published literature and articles which use of a computer equipped with specialized software on the Wordwall online learning platform. As a result, collaboration and teamwork were evidenced, developing technical and social skills such as empathy and teamwork. Immediate feedback through chatbots integrated into the game architecture allows users, at each level, the opportunity for self-correction and rewards through the construction of knowledge and skills.
