Aplicando inteligência artificial generativa para instanciação de gamificação narrativa no ensino de disciplinas da computação

Abstract

This research investigates four gamified approaches in higher education in Computing: traditional, with teacher-generated narratives, and with artificial intelligence (AI)-generated narratives in two distinct cycles. The methodology used was action research with a mixed approach for data analysis, collected through questionnaires based on the Player Experience Inventory (PXI). The results indicate that gamification with teacher-generated narratives was the most engaging strategy. It was observed that AI optimizes pedagogical planning but still requires human intervention for didactic adjustments. The study also addresses challenges of gamification, such as the need for educators’ time and resources, and proposes generative AI as a promising solution to support personalization and pedagogical planning.
