Utilização do jogo “Quimitrilha” no ensino de química: relado de uma experiência na Escola Joaquim Alves.

Abstract

Chemistry teaching faces several challenges, especially regarding the search for methodologies that can help the teaching-learning process, making it more efficient and meaningful for the student. Several tools have been created to increase student interest in chemistry. In this context, the Chemistry Club project (CluQui), emerged at UFC as a proposal within the International Chemistry Year (AIQ-2011) with the objective of disseminating and popularizing Chemistry among young people from public schools in Ceará. The first branch implemented by the project is in full swing at Joaquim Alves Elementary and High School, receiving support and support from the Chemistry Club - UFC. It uses various strategies to approach the concepts of chemistry, by conducting practical classes, visiting the laboratories and applying various activities of a playful nature, among them the didactic game. Thus, this work aimed to apply a board game developed by the Chemistry Club and evaluate its effectiveness as a didactic game. The so-called “chemitrile” game was adapted to work introductory chemistry contents of the p work chemistry introductory contents of the first year of high school. The study involved the application of a questionnaire of prior knowledge and post performance of the didactic playful activity. To evaluate the use of the game as a didactic tool was applied a questionnaire composed with questions elaborated based on the Likert school and subjective questions: based on the results obtained with the game “chimitrile” it was possible to observe that the didactic games can serve as a methodological tool for teaching chemistry.
