A metodologia de jogos nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática: uma atualização das vertentes da pesquisa brasileira através dos anais do XIV e XV ENEM

Abstract

This study aims to update the panorama of Brazilian research on the methodology of games in Mathematics teaching and learning processes. Aligning with a previous study that mapped the proceedings of the National Meeting of Mathematics Education (ENEM) from its 1st edition (1987) up to its 13th edition (2019), the present work focuses on the analysis of the proceedings of the XIV (2022) and XV (2025) ENEM. The objective is to identify the advances or maintenance of the most recent trends and approaches in research concerning the use of games as a didactic tool in Mathematics Education in Brazil. The adopted methodology follows a qualitative approach, replicating the criteria for searching papers in the "oral communication," "scientific," or "sub-axis" modalities that contain the words "jogo," "jogos," "jogar," or "jogando" (game, games, to play, playing) in their titles. This analysis is expected to provide an expanded and contemporary view on the inclusion and discussion of games in pedagogical practices and academic investigations in the field, contributing to the understanding of the evolutions and challenges faced by mathematics researchers and educators. In conclusion, the number of papers in recent editions has decreased, even though they still indicate quality in the methodology of using games as a tool for teaching and learning mathematics.
