O jogo digital "sonho de liberdade" como instrumento de construção de conhecimento para a relação entre raça e trabalho no Brasil

Abstract

The use of digital technologies can function as a pedagogical strategy to systematize the most diverse contents in Professional and Technological Education (EPT), favoring innovative teaching and learning processes. Considering this, this paper analyzes the use of a digital game as a tool for the debate about ethnic-racial relations in EPT. The research understands work as an educational principle and professional education as a possibility for the integral and critical formation of the subjects. In addition, the Theory of the Instrumental Approach is used as a theoretical basis that underpins the analysis of technological tools that promote the mediation of knowledge in teaching and learning processes. The study is qualitative in nature and includes bibliographical research, application of the game with students of Integrated High School and analysis of the writings originating from the Conversation Circle with the students. The pre-analysis, exploration of the material and organization of the data were based on Bardin's Content Analysis (2016). The game “Sonho de Liberdade”, produced through the RPG Maker MV platform, is a game of the RPG (Role-Playing Game) genre and will function as an educational product together with a Didactic Sequence (to guide its use by teachers). The educational product “Sonho de Liberdade” constituted itself as an attractive learning instrument among the research participants, allowing access to the theme of race and work in Brazil and proving to be useful as a didactic resource in teaching and learning processes among young people in Integrated High School and other EPT or Basic Education modalities.
