EDUCA & AÇÃO! LEVANDO A PRÁTICA AOS ACADÊMICOS DE ENGENHARIA CIVIL NO ENSINO REMOTO UTILIZANDO UM JOGO SÉRIO COMO METODOLOGIA ATIVA

Abstract

Managerial skills are fundamental for absorption in the job market, but the civil engineering student has a fundamentally theoretical workload, going against the proportion of the engineer learning, since 70% of his training comes with practical experiences, 20% through interaction with professional colleagues and only 10% of theoretical forms. Taking this scenario into account, it is necessary to take the practice to the student's graduation, and active methodologies are an option for that. Active methodologies place the academic as the central figure of their learning, leaving the idea of ​​the student's passivity regarding their learning process. There are several active methodologies, but, since it is already applied in companies, serious games are a way to develop skills while taking the strategies of the labor market to graduation. A serious game based on the role-playing game (RPG) called Educa & Ação! was developed, which is completely adaptable to the disciplines, both in theme and in duration and application. Initially designed for face-to-face education, Educa & Ação! it was rethought for the reality of remote education, and a new validation was made with civil engineering students who have already studied or are studying the discipline of Planning and Construction Management. The results of the feedback were positive: 100% believe that Educa & Ação! is a tool that contributes to your education, Educa & Ação! develops soft skills of the players, 100% would play again and 100% had fun playing.
