SUMMARY:

This study analyzes how International Organism Simulations (SOIs) contribute to the development of critical literacy, motivation, autonomy, and interaction among high school students at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG). Focusing on the Model of Simulated Committees (MOCS), the research investigates the impact of these simulations on enhancing argumentation skills, critical reading, and textual production, which are essential for academic success, particularly in the National High School Exam (Enem). SOIs are addressed as an active methodology that, by engaging students in debates on global issues, fosters a more participatory and meaningful learning experience. The main objective of the study is to examine how participation in SOIs can enhance critical literacy and positively influence aspects such as students' motivation and autonomy. Using a qualitative approach, data collection was carried out through questionnaires administered to former MOCS participants, and the data were analyzed following the principles of Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016). The categorization of data revealed recurring themes such as the strengthening of argumentation skills and the expansion of critical thinking. The results show that SOIs are effective in promoting the development of cognitive and social skills, reinforcing students' ability to think critically and argue in a structured manner. Furthermore, SOIs create a favorable environment for collaborative interaction and autonomy, which are fundamental elements for educational success. These outcomes align with the concept of the "virtuous circle of learning," addressed by Schyra, (2024, p.35, in press), related to the Adaptive Complex Pedagogical Interactional Dynamics (DIPAC) of Parreiras and Paiva (2018), which underscores SOIs as a methodology capable of continuously integrating motivation, autonomy, and interaction into the educational process. One of the key findings of the research was the validation of the "learning fractal" (Esteves, 2023), concept which describes how SOIs trigger a continuous cycle of motivation, autonomy, and interaction. This cycle is sustained by DIPAC, contributing to the ongoing growth of students throughout the learning process. The study concludes that SOIs, in addition to being an innovative pedagogical tool, have the potential to transform how students engage with learning, improving both academic performance and the competencies required to face social and political challenges in a global context.
