Propriedades periódicas: uma proposta para o uso do lúdico

Abstract

Playful activities are directly related to games and fun that have entertainment as one of the purposes, but when applied in the classroom, it is used as a teaching tool, with the learning of students as the main objective; Sometimes Chemistry is assumed as a complex subject for students to understand, thus teachers must develop a teaching strategy to help in the assimilation of the content studied according to the activity that they are developing.Therefore, the general objective of this research was to elaborate a didactic game, introducing playfulness in Chemistry classes, which enables a greater interest in the study of the periodic table. The methodology path consisted firstly in performing an analysis on four books approved by the PNLD 2018. Secondly, the creation of a layout for the elaboration of cards. And finally, the production of a semi-questionnaire that was sent to Chemistry teachers.It was observed that the Chemistry books approved by PNLD 2018 in the chapter referring to the periodic properties did not have options for playful activities to be applied in the classroom. And through observation of answers in the semi-structured questionnaire, it was possible to perceive that 50% of teachers who responded to the survey had not performed playful activities in periodic table classes, but they reported the possibility of application for such activities in the study of the periodic table, and to the periodic features.
