Abstract

With the difficulty of learning Physics and with the preconception that high school students have with this Science, there is a need to develop meaningful learning by provoking in the teacher the production and application of new content transmission and reception strategies. In this context, a dynamization and efficiency through the application of didactic games. The educational game is a learning tool that the teacher can use in the construction of the process of teaching and learning in the classroom. The present work had as general objective to build the Crossword game as didactic material in the teaching of Mechanics and to analyze its contribution in the process of teaching and learning of the students of the High School. For this we outline the following specific objectives: To collaborate in the motivation and esteem of the students in learning Physics, through the use of the game Crossword; Provide high school students with pleasure in learning Physics and thus realize the importance of content in everyday life through a differentiated methodology; To propose a dynamic and pedagogical strategy for the teaching of Mechanics aimed at High School and Improve the didactic performance of students in Physics. We applied this learning resource to 120 students of the 1st grade of a State Public School in the municipality of Caucaia / Ceará. We follow the following steps: exposition of class in a traditional way, with the use of the following resources: didactic book, blackboard and brush; in the second stage students were explained about the "Crosswords" and divided them into teams so that they could play the game; in the third stage we applied a questionnaire to evaluate the applied methodology and, finally, we tabulated the data. Participation and interaction in the classroom was observed, reproducing pleasant learning. Providing a substantial increase in learning on Mechanics.
