Resumo: SAPO Campus is a social media platform for educational contexts based on the basic principles of Web 2.0 and social networks. The platform has a badge feature that allows community members to engage in gamification dynamics by creating, supporting and assigning badges. An analysis of the platform interaction data shows that, despite some cases of success in the use of badges, the great majority of users never used this feature, especially teachers. In order to understand the reasons behind this lack of use, a questionnaire was administered to 61 administrators of communities in SAPO Campus. The overall results show us that this feature was not used because administrators thought it was hard to implement with their students, especially in what concerns its planning and use in an engaging way. In this article we analyze the general preferences indicated throughout the questionnaire regarding this functionality, in order to understand which changes should be implemented to improve its use.

A plataforma possui uma funcionalidade de crachás que permite que os membros da comunidade participem em dinâmicas de gamificação criando, apoiando e atribuindo crachás. Uma análise dos dados de interação da plataforma mostra que, apesar de alguns casos de sucesso no uso de crachás, a grande maioria dos utilizadores nunca utilizou esse recurso, principalmente os professores. Com o objetivo de compreender as razões subjacentes a essa falta de uso, um questionário foi aplicado a 61 administradores de comunidades no SAPO Campus. Os resultados gerais mostraram que esta funcionalidade não era usada porque os administradores achavam que era difícil implementar com os seus alunos, especialmente no que diz respeito ao seu planeamento e uso de maneira pedagogicamente sustentada. Neste artigo analisamos as preferências gerais indicadas no questionário sobre esta funcionalidade, com o objetivo de compreender que mudanças devem ser implementadas para melhorar os seus padrões de utilização.SAPO Campus est une plate-forme sociale pour les contextes éducatifs basés sur les bases du Web 2.0 et des réseaux sociaux. La plateforme possède une fonctionnalité de badge qui permet aux membres de la communauté de participer à la dynamique de la gamification en créant, en soutenant et en attribuant des badges. Une analyse des données d’interaction de la plate-forme a montré que, malgré certains cas d’utilisation réussie de badges, la grande majorité des utilisateurs n’ont jamais utilisé cette fonctionnalité, en particulier les enseignants. Afin de comprendre les raisons sous-jacentes à ce manque d’utilisation, un questionnaire a été appliqué à 61 administrateurs de la communauté dans SAPO Campus. Les résultats globaux ont montré que cette fonctionnalité n’était pas utilisée parce que les administrateurs estimaient qu’il était difficile à mettre en oeuvre avec leurs élèves, en particulier en ce qui concerne leur planification et leur utilisation d’une manière pédagogique soutenue. Dans cet article, nous analysons les préférences générales indiquées dans le questionnaire à propos de cette fonctionnalité, afin de comprendre quels changements devraient être mis en oeuvre pour améliorer leurs habitudes d’utilisation.SAPO Campus es una plataforma de naturaleza social para los contextos educativos basados en los principios básicos de la Web 2.0 y las redes sociales. La plataforma tiene una funcionalidad de insignias que permite a los miembros de una comunidad que se adhieren a la gamificación dinámica mediante la creación, la colocación y la asignación de insignias. En el análisis de + de intercambio de datos de la palatforma se muestra que, a pesar de algunos casos de éxito en el uso de insignias, una gran cantidad de usuarios nunca ha utilizado esta funcionalidad, especialmente profesores. Para comprender las razones que preceden a esta falta de uso, un cuestionario ha sido contestado por 61 administradores de comunidades en SAPO Campus. Los resultados revelan que no se utilizó porque los administradores creen que era difícil de implementar con sus estudiantes, especialmente en lo que respecta su planificación y utilización pedagógica. En este artículo se analizan las preferencias en cada una de las preguntas cuestionadas en relación con esta funcionalidad, para comprender qué cambios se deben implementar para mejorar su uso.Edições Universitárias Lusófonas2019-01-17T14:03:45Z2018-01-01T00:00:00Z2018info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10437/9334eng1646-401XAraújo, InêsSantos, CarlosPedro, LuísBatista, Joãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-09T01:31:40Zoai:recil.ensinolusofona.pt:10437/9334Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:37:01.402971Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
