Studentes: criação de aplicativo educacional móvel para estudantes de odontologia

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a mobile educational application for dentistry students. With this tool, it was sought to create a method of learning as a dynamic and innovative alternative, complementing the existing pedagogical techniques. The game was inspired by the mobile application “Who am I?”, in which the player must find out what word appears on the screen, without visualizing it, just listening to tips. The MIT App Inventor platform was used for the construction of the application, which enabled the formation of a simple and effective prototype, capable of idealizing the functioning of the game. In the application, common subjects of the dentistry course were approached, however, to exemplify, only the Fixed Prosthesis was used, more specifically Molding Materials. This project, therefore, sought to develop a simple and effective study tool, which will collaborate for a high educational quality and effective learning of dentistry students.
