Tic‐Tac‐Toe in Socioeducational Interviews in Open‐Environment Settings

This study investigates tic‐tac‐toe as an innovative methodological strategy in semistructured interviews with 15 adolescents (mean age 16.6 years; 40% female/60% male) in socioeducational measures in open environments (LA/PSC) at the CREAS in Ponta Grossa/PR. Approved by COEP/UEPG (Opinion 5.717.992), the research was analyzed via Bardin′s content analysis (2011), medium ludic representations of social representations (Moscovici, 2012), and personal/common/collective memories (Sá, 2015/2018). Results reveal 92% approval, communication facilitation (67%), anxiety reduction (80%), and enhanced narrative depth, anchoring positive perceptions of sports/leisure in the measures. The semistructured interviews, lasting 35–40 min, form a replicable protocol that demonstrates efficacy for both qualitative research and socioeducational practice, recommending ludic integration in CREAS for inclusive and transformative listening.
