BANCO ESTATÍSTICO: UM JOGO PEDAGÓGICO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR

Abstract

Statistics is a discipline that requires a lot of study and reasoning from the student during the learning process. From a didactic perspective, the use of playful instruments has been used as an important tool in learning and teaching processes. Many literatures have been published focusing on the game as a valid and important ludic element, characterizing this instrument as a fun and distracting activity with clear and explicit rules, socially established, in common use, whether of competition or cooperation. Learning is facilitated, as the learning contents are presented in a playful way, allowing students to allocate greater commitment, interest and enthusiasm, in an interactive way, according to the theory of meaningful learning. From this perspective, a parlor/board game was designed and built as a tool for teaching the contents of the Statistics discipline in classes in the second semester of 2015 at the Instituto Federal Goiano do Campus Ceres. The game teaching instrument consists of a board similar to a real estate bank containing dice, pawns, cards and toy money. The cards correspond to the house on the board and present Basic Statistics content data from the curricular matrix worked in the Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science and Agronomy, and Degree in Biological Sciences in the aforementioned higher education unit. The game was exposed as a teaching-learning didactic tool in the II Gymkhana of Statistics, obtaining maximum approval in this test by the judging committee. This was also used in the classroom as a test and was well accepted by the academics of the class, being observed, through the answers of the research participants to the questionnaires, a facilitation of the teaching and learning of the contents as well as the promotion of social interaction between the students. participants. The didactic tool test research used public characterization questionnaires, questionnaires to analyze the use of research tools, didactic tools (booklet and statistical bench game) and quizzes, for the analysis of the efficiency of the tools in teaching-learning of Basic Statistics in the participating classes. It was noticed that statistically there was no difference in the means of the sabbaths between the different treatments (the didactic tools).
