O jogo “Trilha do QR CODE” como ferramenta pedagógica no processo de ensino-aprendizagem na disciplina de Química

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the application of a didactic game entitled “QR Code Trail” (TQC) as a pedagogical tool to assist in the teachinglearning process in the Chemistry discipline. The content covered was the Periodic Table and the target audience students from five classes of the first year of high school of a public school in the city of Santa Rita-PB. The proposal time for planning, application and evaluation lasted approximately six months. Students initially experienced lectures on content. Later the students organized in groups, made their own games of the type (TQC). During the application of the games, students used a free application for decoding the QR Code. The evaluation of the applied methodology was performed in quantitative diagnostic (AQD) and qualitative formative (AQF). As data collection instruments, exercises, questionnaires and observations were applied by the author of the work. After the lectures, each group of students used ten classes to make the game. They performed questions elaboration, performed the coding of the questions elaborated in QR Code format and built the board. The materials used are low cost and were made available by the school. After applying the pre-game exercises, it was observed that the students did not have sufficient knowledge about the content of the periodic table. After participating in the stages of construction and application of the proposal, students were able to experience an innovative methodology to learn Chemistry, improving their results against the post-game applied issues. In addition, students had the opportunity to work on both the psychomotor and cognitive aspects throughout the process. Students rated the proposal as excellent because the classes become more dynamic, interactive, and improve learning, demonstrating the importance of the ludic and collaborative aspect in the classroom.
