Produção de um jogo didático baseado no jogo de cartas

Abstract

The Periodic Table is a topic of extreme importance for teaching and learning chemistry. And often their presentation in schools is quite misunderstood. In this context, students have the understanding that the Periodic Table is something that forces them to memorize as a way of getting use out of the discipline. In this perspective, the present work presents an educational strategy to help students in the teaching-learning of the Periodic Table theme through a didactic game. The study focuses on the production of an interactive and very didactic card game that helps the students in the teaching-learning process of chemistry in a more pleasant way, bringing them closer and closer to the elements of the Periodic Table and relating them to your everyday life. Initially, cards of the chemical elements were produced based on the Super Trump card game with the description of some periodic properties followed by the construction of an Interactive Periodic Table so that students could search and review each of the properties of the chemical elements present in the game. The game produced was presented to students of the 2nd Year of High School at a State Technical School in the municipality of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and evaluated through two questionnaires that presented very positive results and brought good perspectives of efficiency of this playful approach to teaching-learning of chemistry.
