GAMIFICAÇÃO NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA: A UTILIZAÇÃO DA PLATAFORMA KAHOOT! PARA O ENSINO DE MODELOS ATÔMICOS

Abstract

The insertion of digital tools as mediators in the teaching and learning processes has been being the object of study by several researchers in the field of Education in order to support discussions for a meaningful mediation of such resources to offer learning with autonomy, interaction, integration of concepts and technology. In view of the pandemic state that plagues society, the intensification of the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies in online education now appears as alternatives to carry forward formal educational practices. In this sense, the relevance of this study is based on discussions about hybrid teaching, active methodologies and Active Technological Learning, focusing on the use of gamification as a methodological resource for teaching and learning. Here, an exploratory qualitative research is presented, in the form of an experience report. The objective was to present a gamified proposal for teaching Chemistry, presenting a brief history and evolution of atomic models through the Kahoot! platform. In a different way, the reported experience illustrated a promising scenario, enabling the intuitive and interactive behavior of students in addition to promoting meaningful learning, supported by real participation and the strategic sense by students.
