Gamificação, mobilidade e suas aplicações na assistência estudantil

Abstract

This paper addresses the discussion on the contributions and benefits of gamification as an engagement strategy in work processes related to student assistance policy at the IFBA Salvador campus. The choice of this topic was justified by the author's close relationship with Social Work, as a social worker and educator—fields that interact and complement each other—added to her interest in incorporating gamification elements as an engagement strategy for EPT, which was evidenced by the massive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) during and after the pandemic, which allowed work to continue while maintaining social distancing. To this end, intervention research was conducted, exploratory research with a qualitative approach based on bibliographic research, and a literature review, with the aim of answering the central question of this research: how can IFBA students be engaged in understanding student assistance policy, using gamification resources as a strategy to optimize and enhance the selection process for scholarships and grants? The bibliographical basis for this academic research was e-books, books, legislation, Capes journals, and Scielo and Google Scholar repositories. Finally, the educational product developed was the "Digital Guide: Guidelines on the Student Assistance Policy of the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Bahia," which was validated by experts. The objective of this practical guide is to contribute to the work of social workers who implement this policy within Federal Institutes and Universities, as well as to help integrated high school students understand that student assistance policy is a citizen's right and a duty of the state.
