A inserção de um jogo de cartas como metodologia no ensino de química

Abstract

This work discusses the importance of implementing didactic activities and games in the educational context, with the aim of transforming the student into an active participant in the teaching-learning process, helping them to acquire knowledge. As part of this project, a card game (Uno Inorganico) was developed and applied to first-year high school students at a full-time school in Maceió, Alagoas, during the Laboratory of Experimental Practices - LPE discipline. The results obtained through tests applied to students and on-site analyzes of them revealed significant improvements both in the students' academic performance, reflected in the grades obtained, and in the expansion of social interaction between them. After a few days of introducing the card game, an improvement was observed in the students' interpersonal relationships, showing that, when applied appropriately, educational games not only aim at cognitive development, but also at emotional development.
