Abstract
This paper has the goal of investigating the Brazilian low-income student’s education problems and their relation with environmental and social context. It was observed that many low-income teenager’s students have difficulties to properly read and write. Thus, the students find a large gap in their literacy level and often cannot even read and write although they are at a middle level school classroom. This investigation was conducted in a public school from Manguinhos’ shantytown in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. The investigation’s development consisted of systematic observation, interview, meeting and gamification’s activities. Through an ergonomics approach with Participatory Design and Action Research, it was possible to analyze the relations of social critical literacy and gamification approach toward inclusive and effective education.
