Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of gamification in tourism education, addressing how game elements can enhance student engagement and learning.

Methodology/approach: Qualitative research with quantitative data. A pilot study was conducted with a master's class in Tourism, utilizing two pedagogical games: "QuizTour" and "Turismo em Forca." Data collection was performed through a survey administered after the game sessions, allowing for a quantitative analysis of responses.

Originality/Relevance: This study advances science in the education field by demonstrating the effectiveness of gamification and its practical implications. 

Key findings: The results indicated that gamification promoted a more dynamic and collaborative learning experience, facilitating the understanding of complex concepts. However, challenges such as the need for well-planned design and lack of technological resources were identified.

Theoretical/methodological contributions: Contributions include improvements in pedagogical practice and insights for implementing gamification in educational contexts, as well as strengthening the theoretical foundation on the topic.
