SILVA, Felipe Queiroz da; SANT’ANA, Irani Parolin  and  SANT’ANA, Claudinei de Camargo. RPG IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW. Revista LES [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.58, 5342.  Epub Mar 28, 2025. ISSN 2526-8449.  https://doi.org/10.26694/rles.v28i58.5342.

This article presents a Systematic Literature Review aimed at analyzing research produced in Brazil between 2013 and 2022 discussing the use of RPG games in Mathematics Education. To do so, searches were conducted in three databases using the descriptors 'RPG' and 'mathematics,' resulting in a corpus containing 29 works. These works were analyzed with the intention of answering the questions: how were RPG game applications in Mathematics Education carried out between 2013 and 2022? To which audiences were they targeted? And what were the findings? Our analysis shows an increase in academic production, with a greater concentration in the Southeast region. There is also a lack of consensus on the definition of Pedagogical RPG and theoretical research on the subject, in addition to the small number of studies from the perspective of teacher training. Finally, there is a reported improvement in terms of content acquisition, motivation, and social skills among students in Pedagogical RPG applications.

Keywords : RPG; Mathematics Education; Systematic Literature Review.
