IMPLEMENTATION OF A GAMIFIED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WITH THE PURPOSE OF TEACHING CHILDREN THE CORRECT USE OF FINANCES

Abstract

The implementation of a gamified system for children has been created to demonstrate that the traditional educational model should not be the only way to teach new concepts to children, in this case, financial concepts, with the aim of promoting the use of gamification for children’s education. The research involves a continuous evaluation of 30 school children, aged between 10 and 12 years, before, during, and after the application of the game. Surveys were conducted to assess the children’s knowledge and the concepts they were grasping throughout the process. The results and discussion address the comparison between the initial and final results obtained, evaluating the main financial concepts adopted by the children. The research aims to directly relate gamification to the possibility of teaching and acquiring financial knowledge. The final section presents a discussion with other studies conducted and applied for the same purpose, demonstrating the validity of the proposed gamified model implementation
