Um jogo de tabuleiro: uma proposta de uma aula diversificada para o ensino de física

Abstract

This paper proposes the elaboration of an educational board game, involving some basic physics themes, such as electromagnetism, wave, thermodynamics, mechanics, history of physics and astronomy. The contents that were addressed refer to a basic scientific knowledge of each area of physics that the student experiences since their contact with science at the Elementary School, where he studies the name of the planets that make up the solar system, to more advanced and detailed topics when he reaches High School. The game was designed with the purpose of reaching students from 9th grade of elementary school to the 3rd year of high school. This material aims to reinforce the relationship between the student and physics, pleasantly motivating an advance in their cognitive aspect of learning and breaking some common-sense paradigms. All the rules of the game were inspired by traditional entertainment games, which young people are very fond of, such as ludo, uno, cards, monopoly, among others that were used as inspiration for the elaboration of the model and the rules. This educational product leads us to an analysis of the applicability of the game, in order to investigate whether it is profitable to use it in schools as a support material for a diversified physics class. The application was carried out in five schools,two public and therr private elementary and high schools in the city of Maceió and Flexeiras. In addition, in this paper, we seek to analyze the use of this type of tool as a facilitator in the teaching-learning process.
