Resumo

Com a paisagem sempre em evolução da educação, a integração de jogos móveis na instrução em sala de aula tem sido notável. No entanto, com o avanço da tecnologia, os aplicativos móveis recém-desenvolvidos precisam ser avaliados antes de poderem ser plenamente utilizados no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Este estudo aprofundou a integração do Sim City, um jogo de simulação focado na construção de cidades, em aulas de Geografia Urbana com foco primário na avaliação da adequação, eficiência e relevância do aplicativo móvel, bem como seus impactos percebidos na motivação e metacognição dos usuários. A pesquisa envolveu a utilização da abordagem de método misto usando o design explicativo sequencial onde o método de pesquisa foi utilizado para determinar a avaliação dos respondentes sobre os critérios dados e a entrevista para identificar as dificuldades e desafios encontrados pelos usuários que são os alunos do segundo ano de Estudos Sociais da ESB. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados usando a média, empregando a Escala Likert e interpretações adjetivas apropriadas, onde se revelou que a integração do aplicativo móvel era altamente favorecida. A clareza visual e compatibilidade do Sim City com o conteúdo do curso teve um bom impacto na sua adequação. Os resultados de eficiência enfatizaram a capacidade do jogo de melhorar a compreensão através de um processo de aprendizagem estruturado e tarefas desafiadoras. A relevância foi confirmada, particularmente no avanço das ideias sobre cidades inteligentes. Além disso, os participantes mostraram maior motivação e habilidades metacognitivas melhoradas. Além disso, os dados qualitativos foram codificados e analisados utilizando a análise temática de conteúdo. Foi constatado que os desafios enfrentados pelos entrevistados incluíam a complexidade do jogo, os aspectos financeiros e a gestão de recursos, e questões técnicas.
