LABQUI VIRTUAL: ABORDAGEM LÚDICA MEDIADA PELO PELO COMPUTADOR PARA O ENSINO DE QUÍMICA

Abstract

The use of educational games and computer-mediated simulators has emerged as a great pedagogical value tool (ANNETTA et al., 2014). Empirical studies show that students have greater engagement in learning mediated by digital games, that is motivated by the intrinsic challenge of the game or the fun to play (ERHEL; JAMET, 2013). Chemistry is initially introduced in Science studies. As a curricular subject, is introduced from high school and is the discipline that studies the properties and the transformations that occur in matter and energy which took place in these processes. (FILHO; PEREIRA; MAIA., 2000) The development of research and works in digital game-based learning (DGBL) for chemistry teaching, especially intended high school students shown as an important way for the improvement of knowledge construction processes in this area. This work aims to create a prototype DGBL to assist in the chemical content of learning in basic education. A game engine for creating scenarios and interactive programming with the user will be used.
