Estratégias de ensino aplicadas ao conteúdo de radioatividade: uma reflexão sobre uso de jogos nas aulas de Química

Abstract

Radioactivity is one of the great discoveries made by contemporary man, since by deepening his knowledge, he also opened important fields of application. Radioactivity widely used in medicine, agriculture, industry, biology, chemistry and many other areas. In this sense, the present study is justified by the need to understand radioactivity and how it is worked in high school, considering that it is an important subject in the formation of a critical citizen. Also, aiming to answer the following question: How to perform the teaching of radioactivity through pedagogical games in high school? We sought materials that address the teaching of radioactivity through the use and/ or construction of pedagogical games. Therefore, a qualitative research approach was adopted, with a literature review study, and in the methodological way were selected articles in databases such as the Brazilian Digital Bank of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the Virtual Health Bank (VHL). From the selection of articles, which were analyzed in order to identify approaches and methodologies used in the teaching of radioactivity through pedagogical games. The results revealed that the use of games in the teaching of radioactivity has significant benefits, such as greater student engagement, better understanding of concepts and greater retention of knowledge. In addition, the pedagogical games provided a playful and interactive approach, which stimulated the creativity, cooperation and critical thinking of students. Therefore, the incorporation of games in the teaching of radioactivity in high school proved to be a strategy that assists in the learning teaching process. Through this approach, it is possible to arouse the interest of students, making learning more dynamic and enjoyable. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to the valorization and dissemination of educational practices, which aim to improve the quality of teaching and prepare students for the challenges of the contemporary world, importance of radioactivity teaching and its consequences in scientific literacy
