Produto didático: Jogo Sinfonia da Inquisição - o RPG como ferramenta empática no ensino de História

Abstract

The course conclusion work in question is a didactic product: Symphony of the Inquisition: RPG as an empathic tool in the teaching of history. Our goal was to produce a game about the Inquisition in the 16th century Pernambuco, specifically the case of Felicia Tourinho and, from it, to stimulate historical empathy (LEE, 2006). In this case, the use of RPG as an alternative language for the teaching of history aimed to bring closer to the thematic students and subjects that they consider so far from their reality. Instead of fixed, finished and unreachable history - the result of the markedly verbalist classes still very present in everyday school, through a playful language, we aim to stimulate students' immersion in history, as they disguise themselves as historical characters. And so, bring students and teachers closer to the subject they are studying, putting in their hands the power of decision and choice of what attitudes to take, living, for a class, the historical dramas experienced by the characters that otherwise seemed so far away.
