Proposta de jogo de tabuleiro baseado no consumo energético de eletrodomésticos

Abstract

The role that education plays in our society is indisputable, for years teaching was restricted to the traditional blackboard and chalk and even the textbook, but just as technologies created by man have evolved, teaching methods have also evolved. For this reason, works focused on playfulness in the teaching and learning process have been frequent in recent years, due to the need to expand the range of pedagogical resources used in the classroom for each specific profile of student/class. Added to this, there has been a worldwide concern regarding the conscious use of energy due to the increase in population and increasingly technological equipment that depend on electric energy, such as electric cars; as well as the current limited demand for energy sources. In this way, the present work sought to present the proposal of a board game based on the electrical consumption of household appliances, to be used in thermodynamics classes. The game aims both to encourage students to connect the content learned about this topic with their daily lives, in order to make them realize the importance of physics in their daily lives, and also, it aims to help in the formation of a generation aware of the importance of becoming make rational use of the electricity that reaches our homes. Although the game has not yet been applied in the classroom, it was designed to last a maximum of 50 minutes, thus allowing the teacher who wants to use it to do so in just one class. Its impact on student learning will be the result of future investigations. Finally, we hope that this proposed game will be a very useful didactic tool for those teachers who want to make their classes on electrical consumption more dynamic, efficient and fun.
