This study aims to analyze the contributions of a micro-training program designed for
Portuguese language teachers on the use of gamified classes as a pedagogical strategy to
minimize learning gaps among 1st-year high school students. The research, based on a
qualitative approach and grounded in action research, begins with the diagnosis of
accumulated difficulties in the teaching and learning process, which were intensified by the
COVID-19 pandemic and particularly affected reading, interpretation, and writing skills. The
study involves the design, implementation, and evaluation of a micro-training course
featuring synchronous and asynchronous activities, focused on strengthening teaching
practices and fostering student engagement. The educational product consists of a
micro-training program intended to expand the pedagogical use of gamification and support
learning recovery in alignment with the BNCC and national digital education policies.
