Abstract
The “gamification” is a strategy to use elements of the games outside the environment of games and
can be applied as a teaching strategy. The application in the classroom as an active learning strategy
is still a great challenge for education, especially in higher education in such a traditional context, as is
the case with Law teaching. The present paper reports a case study on how it was applied a quiz
using the kahoot platform as teaching learning strategy in the discipline Constitutional Law in a
university in Portugal. The results showed that kahoot enhanced the use of gamification in the
classroom by facilitating the use of elements of games such as immediate feedback, clear rules, and
brings fun, pleasure and motivation. Students allude to competition as stimulus for learning and they
realized the kahoot can be used as a replacement for traditional classroom once you can reach
different levels of complexity that challenge students and make learning more efficient and durable.
We conclude that the technique, however, presents some limitations. The perception and interests of
students was a positive result from the experience.
