RPG COMO FERRAMENTA LÚDICA PARA O ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS ATRAVÉS DO ENSINO POR INVESTIGAÇÃO

Abstract

Education is changing, responding to a globalized world, where information is easily accessed.The school, in response to the changes in the world, seeks to awaken autonomy and critical sense in the student, so that he can live in society. Games have been used with success in a school environment, bringing with it the playful, facilitating interactions and good results to the teaching and learning of students. Another proposal that also seeks to bring the student to a level of conscious understanding of the environment that surrounds him is investigative teaching, which uses an approach that encourages him to question, collect information and take this knowledge to everyday life, especially for Science. The applied activity of this research, an RPG game based on an investigative bias, was proposed to approach the theme Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), promoting an initial contact with the subject. The application of this activity was carried out in students of the 8th year of Elementary School final years. As a result of the analyzes collected from the students in this work, in addition to the researcher's observations, it was concluded that the use of RPG for science teaching through an investigative approach made classes more fun and creative, invoking investigation and cooperation.
