Uno7 - o patrimônio histórico de Manaus em game: a cidade como espaço de aprendizagem sobre memória, história e patrimônio

Abstract

This dissertation presents the development of the Uno7 game, an educational tool aimed at teaching heritage education in art education classes. The research had as its central question: How can the use of an educational game enhance teaching and learning about the architectural heritage of Manaus, promoting student engagement? The general objective was to create an adapted version of the UNO card game, using elements that addressed the city's historical heritage, monuments and public spaces along Avenida 7 de Setembro. The game was designed to stimulate critical reflection on the preservation and appreciation of local cultural heritage. The research was conducted based on the Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, which allowed for continuous refinement of the game based on feedback from users, in this case, first-year high school students. The theoretical framework approached authors such as Le Goff (2013) and Candau (2011), who discuss the importance of heritage education and cultural mediation in learning. The dissertation is divided into: Theoretical context of heritage education in interculturality, art and games; Historical contextualization of the public heritage of Manaus; Contextualization of the school and research audience and Reflection on the data collected from the research process. As results, the research demonstrated that Uno7 was effective in engaging students, promoting learning in a playful and collaborative way, in addition to increasing students' interest in the historical heritage of Manaus. Social interaction was favored, and gamification contributed to a more dynamic and enjoyable learning experience. However, adjustments to the game mechanics were suggested, such as expanding the historical contextualization, to optimize the educational experience. Uno7 proved to be a valuable tool for teaching cultural heritage, with the potential to be expanded to other educational contexts and themes.
