ColeteJÁ: uma ferramenta lúdica de apoio no ensino da coleta seletiva

Abstract

Based on this premise, the aim of this work was to develop a system that addresses the environmental issue of selective waste collection through an educational game that can contribute to the teaching-learning process in a playful manner. The methodology adopted in this work involved a literature review, followed by the construction and evaluation of the game. The evaluation results indicated that the game effectively fulfilled its role as entertainment while simultaneously promoting student engagement with the proposed.
