Role playing game - RPG como instrumento de ensino de química

Abstract

The use of teaching materials are allies of teachers in the classroom as a form of support. In this context, we can mention the use of didactic games as a support tool in the teaching-learning process. The present work sought to analyze how much this didactic resource has been used in recent years, especially the use of Role Playing Games in teaching Chemistry. An analysis was made of the number of scientific articles published on this topic between the years 2010 to 2020, so that we can trace a metric about its development over these eleven years. This survey was based on two of the best known platforms used by students and teachers in Brazil, namely Google Scholar and Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. Comparisons were also made with the amount of publications on RPG teaching in other areas of knowledge and in relation to the general amount of articles published on educational games globally.
