Validação de jogos digitais para o ensino de química: análise dos protudos da iniciativa MEC RED

Abstract

Faced with the difficulty and lack of interest on the part of students regarding the Chemistry discipline in High School, the use of digital games as a motivational factor for the teaching and learning processes of scientific concepts has been gaining space within the classrooms due to the issue of creation of a link between playfulness and formal contents. In this context, the objective of this work was to analyze and validate the use of six digital games for teaching Chemistry developed by the V-lab UFPE, aiming at a better learning of contents associated with the Physical Chemistry subject, an integral part of school Chemistry, by the High School students. Investigating the benefits made possible by the experience with the games from the analysis using criteria available in the literature, as well as the discussion based on suggestions for improvements for the products. It is worth noting that the process of creating and choosing digital games that can be used in the classroom is challenging for teachers. Positive results associated with the use of this tool are due to the way in which the teacher idealizes and monitors such activity.
