Química em atividade: participação de educandos do ensino médio no design de jogos digitais educacionais para educação do campo

Abstract

Young students from rural areas go through difficulties through their formal education, such as lack of contextualization of curricular contents for their reality. Rural education can minimize these problems based on guidelines which favor sense-making about scientific concepts, establishing relationships with daily life, and putting the potential of transformation in evidence. This work presents results from a research about the development of digital educational games with the participation of students from a school in the rural area of the state of Pernambuco, following the DEMULTS methodology. Results point to learning of Chemistry concepts integrated with themes from the rural territory and competences in design and programming.
