Aplicação do jogo uno químico para facilitação do ensino aprendizagem de química orgânica

Abstract

Chemistry is a natural science that has existed since ancient times and has a wide range of applications. Nevertheless, it is still considered a complex discipline due to the presence of numerous formulas and acronyms. Considering the difficulties students face in relation to chemistry, the present study aims to evaluate/validate the use of an educational game on organic chemistry in the teaching and learning process of high school students. The study was based on the application of the game "Chemical Uno" to work on the recognition of organic functions, types of chains, and isomerism. The methodology of the study was divided into three stages: 1) Post-game questionnaire and organic chemistry questions; 2) Game application; 3) Pre-game questionnaire and organic chemistry questions. It was observed that the game "Chemical Uno" proved to be an efficient tool in promoting learning both quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as being considered a promising agent for social skills.
