Estudo investigativo dos métodos de ensino - aprendizagem, numa abordagem significativa, através da aplicabilidade de jogos educacionais

Abstract

This work aims to investigate differentiated methods, such as the application of educational games, in the discipline of Chemistry, that allow innovation in the significant process of Teaching-Learning and propose approaches of contents from mediated teaching. The curricular proposal of High School, PCNs, is composed of extensive contents to be administered in a short time, so it proposes contextualized and interdisciplinary approaches, through cross-cutting themes foreseen in the ScienceTechnology-Society-Environment (CTSA) curriculum. Difficulty in understanding and deconcentration of learners in the classroom is perceptible. Faced with this problem, we sought to use mediated didactic tools such as: motivational video, interactive critical debate, expository-dialogue class, mediated construction of conceptual map and the use of educational games, aiming at complementing theoretical classes making Chemistry Teaching more attractive, Stimulating and motivating learners to think, discuss, imagine and decide. In particular, the application of AmbQuím, a board game with questions and answers taken from questions of the National High School Examination, ENEM. These educational tools help both learners to abstract knowledge and apply it in everyday life as educators in mediating content in the cognitive process. This work was developed in two public schools in Ceará, EEM José Milton de Vasconcelos Dias, located in Acaracuzinho, industrial zone of Maracanaú and EEFM Joaquim Alves, located in Fortaleza. It was also made a survey about the teaching action regarding the use of educational tools in the discipline of Chemistry through a virtual platform. It was noticed in interpreting the results that the students prefer more dynamic classes, using different educational methodologies and teachers better able to correlate the daily facts with Chemistry and other disciplines, making contents easier and palpable. Also, it was noticed the need of the educators to be motivated to use differentiated methodologies, in a creative and mediated way, according to the profile of each class, taking advantage of all the knowledge of the students.
