Jogos de RPG na mediação educacional: uma análise discursiva sobre a identidade cultural em uma escola

Abstract

The studies carried out to produce this dissertation launched on the role-playing games, the famous RPGs (English acronym for Role-Playing Game), a research from the perspective of the theory of Discourse Analysis. Thus, we decided to analyze how effective this tool is as a motivator/facilitator of the subject's cultural identity exercise in the teaching-learning process, by emphasizing the place/space of speech of the subject-student in his socio-historical position through the discourse inserted in the textual production in the stage of creation of the character-player. Thus, we reflect on the role of play and playful learning in the manifestation of discourse and their voices throughout the formation of cultural identity, considering the place/space of the rural classroom, marajoara, therefore, on the banks of an Amazonian river, far from urban centers. Therefore, this dissertation begins with the importance of considering the socio-historical context in which the individual-subject is inserted, then we expose the educational contributions of playful teaching and, with that, we launch a conceptual research on RPG games and in-depth typology of what this type of entertainment is about, clarifying in detail what RPG is and how it can serve as a pedagogical tool. Then we present the entire historical-geographical and cultural context of the place where the pedagogical intervention was applied, in which we approach the municipality of Curralinho, in Marajó, present the community and make a description of the riverside school object of our research. With all the research carried out so far, we present the RPG system that was applied at the school and the identity criteria of the subject-students, related to those used in choosing the game brought to the classroom, focusing on the characters, the scenario and the adventure. We detail the step-by-step of how the proposal of the role-playing game was carried out, and then we carry out a detailed examination of the identity construction of the subjects, based on the concepts of Discourse Analysis, on the texts produced in the stage of creation of characters. After the final considerations, we have incorporated an appendix to this dissertation with a pedagogical proposal so that any teacher has in hand a detailed guidance on how to apply RPG in the classroom in any discipline and even carry out interdisciplinary work with their student body.
