Abcfácil: desenvolvimento de um protótipo de aplicativo educacional multissensorial para apoio à alfabetização nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Literacy is a fundamental stage of basic education and is decisive for students’ academic and social development. However, difficulties related to phonological awareness and grapheme–phoneme association still persist in the early years of elementary education, especially in public school contexts. In this perspective, this undergraduate thesis aims to develop and analyze a multisensory educational application prototype, named ABCFácil, designed to support the literacy process through the integration of visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli. The study is characterized as applied research with a qualitative approach, configured as a technological development report with pedagogical grounding. The diagnosis of the problem was conducted through the observation of a school context during Supervised Internship III of the Licentiate Degree in Computer Science at the Federal Institute of Amapá. The development of the application is based on studies on literacy and literacies, psychogenesis of written language, phonological awareness, and multimedia learning. The prototype was developed using the Kodular platform, prioritizing a simple and intuitive interface suitable for children. The results indicate that ABCFácil presents pedagogical potential as a complementary resource to teaching practice, although it still requires empirical validation.
