UNA: Jogo de cartas para o ensino-aprendizagem de referenciais do Design Moderno

Abstract

This dissertation presents the building process of an educational product entitled UNA, which consists of a card game for the teaching and learning of Modern Design references. In this regard, it started from the following focus issue: How to enhance the teaching-learning of important references of Modern Design, through the creation of a card game that stimulates the qualification among Design students? Therefore, the general objective was to develop a modified card game that presented Modern Design references, as well as assisted undergraduate students of this area to develop a visual repertoire for future creations/applications. Hence, UNA was created from adaptations of the original UNO®️ card game. In addition to it, a website was developed on the WIX®️ platform that provides access to content related to the Bauhaus for game users, a pilot theme chosen in this first version, which is based on the selection of images contained in the game's cards. The dissertation is divided into five chapters defined as it follows: (1) Pillars of Modern Design; (2) Teaching-learning and games; (3) Clues for the construction of the educational product; (4) Research Paths; and (5) The Educational Product. The theoretical framework that permeated the construction of the adapted game and its developments in the virtual environment was based on the texts written by Freire (1968); Malusa (2002); Gomes (2019); Kapp (2012); Kishimoto (2017) and Kaplún (2003), as well as theoretical and historical references about the Bauhaus School, with emphasis on the writings of Gullar (1998), Argan (1992), Droste (2006) and Gombrich (1999). As results achieved, we present a reflection on the use of the game in the classroom, as another methodological contribution tool that promotes students’ learning, in a playful way, and we provide a product that is a pilot card game, the UNA, available for appropriation in formal and informal learning environments, with the possibility of inserting other themes related to Design.
