Transformando o ensino de informática: experiências com o Kahoot em um curso técnico

Abstract

This work presents an experience report on the implementation of the Kahoot educational platform in the IT technical course at Colégio Gentil Paraíso Martins. Using Kahoot as a gamification tool aims to promote a more dynamic and interactive learning environment, contributing to student engagement and the development of essential digital skills in the current scenario. The report addresses the strategies adopted to integrate the platform into classes, as well as the results obtained in terms of student participation and learning. The study produced relevant knowledge about the practical use of Kahoot as a gamification tool in technical IT education, demonstrating how the platform can transform the learning environment into something more dynamic and interactive. The main objective was to report the experience of implementing the tool, highlighting the strategies used to integrate it into classes and the results achieved, especially with regard to student engagement and the development of essential digital skills. Furthermore, aspects such as the pedagogical methods applied to optimize the experience with Kahoot, the analysis of student participation and learning levels, and the positive impact of gamification in promoting more attractive and effective teaching were researched. The work was not focused on specifically understanding the learning process itself, but rather on reporting the practical effects and benefits observed when incorporating the platform into the educational context.
