A UTILIZAÇÃO DE JOGOS E ATIVIDADES LÚDICAS COMO AUXÍLIO NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA

Abstract

In the discussions about the teaching-learning process of Chemistry offered in elementary education, we also observe the rationale in a traditionalist teaching, whose classes bring as a unique didactic resource; picture and chalk. Not enough for satisfactory teaching. It is necessary that the teacher has a reflexive thought to develop a logical schedule of the contents, and mainly, to include practical activities and pedagogic materials that are related to the contents in those classes. In this context, the objective of this project was the construction and application of games as methodology of content review teaching, as an alternative and relaxed way of teaching that oppose the traditionalist methodology. The games were made using low-cost materials, called the General Chemistry Corridor, which deals with contents such as simple and compound substances, mixtures, chemical phenomena, chemical bonds, among others, and Organic Memory, which deals with the structures and characteristics of the various organic functions existing. The verification of the feasibility of the two games made and applied was made through the description of the perspectives of the regent and support teachers and through qualitative questionnaires answered by the students. As a result, during the application of the games, we had three excellent classes, with excellent student participation, dedication and interest in answering the questions correctly, socially integrated and focused on the game and class.
