Conscientização e preservação de um rio: proposta pedagógica através de um jogo didático

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to examine a proposal for using a didactic game as a methodology to promote the dissemination of teaching focused on environmental issues; it emphasizes knowledge of the socio-environmental aspects of the Mundaú River, one of the main water flows of the Coastal Basin, Ceará-Brazil. The trail game, Caminhando pelo rio Mundaú: conhecer e preservar (Walking along the Mundaú River: getting to know it and preserve it), is composed of various elements, aimed at students aged 12 and older. It is expected that the enjoyment produced in playing this game contributes to training the participants, activating skills such as imagination and creativity, and enhancing motivation and interaction. It is also expected that the game’s representation of situations faced in daily life, enhances conscious environmental perceptions against a preservationist and sustainable background.
