inclusion engineer with STEAM in the educational institution

Abstract

Introduction: The article presents a research carried out in an educational institution where video game design is worked through Kodu, for three years in a teaching-learning process of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in primary school with STEAM methodology. Objective: Strengthen skills in mathematical logic, creativity and environment as a basis for future engineering in 5th grade students. Methodology: The research was of a mixed type, using a documentary analysis for performance levels in mathematics and natural sciences in fifth grade. , an observation protocol for the characterization of the population, a verification test in the creation of video games. Results: As part of the statistical analysis, a significant progress is evidenced in the results obtained during the three years, and in conclusion, it is considered that the STEAM methodology is adequate to work with Kodu as the appropriate programming environment for the development of competence through Video game design in the educational process. Conclusion: The young researchers assume the role of inclusion engineer, using the Kodu programming environment with a STEAM learning methodology that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics through the creation of their own video games, with representative bases to start in the world of engineering.
