Jogos e ensino de química: avaliando uma proposta de atividade para o ensino de soluções e gases

Abstract

Recently, didatic games have been included in the classroom, as a tool to help the teacher during the given content, which changes the traditional method, by virtue of turning a dull lecture in a more dynamic and interactive environment. The materials together with the didactic game contribute to the teaching and learning as well as promote the interaction between the student and the teacher, and increase sociability and cooperation between the participants, either within each group or between groups. In this work, we present a proposal for activity using educational games related to chemical solutions content and study of gases applied to students of the school Padre Hildon Bandeira, located in the city of João Pessoa-PB. Using materials easily accessible and inexpensive, it was proposed to two groups of 2nd year of high school preparation, construction and application of games in board format that understand the contents of chemical solutions and studies of gases. After the construction and application, it has been observed that the method proved to be satisfactory, leading students to a better understanding of the contents. In addition, students reported positive points regarding the proposed activity, such as better dynamism in class learning facility and opportunity to work in a group, therefore a methodology that contributes to the collaborative work among participants. This work allowed the creation in the classroom of a research environment, analysis, discussion and knowledge building, all in the midst of fun also demonstrating the playful nature of the proposal.
