Perfímica: um jogo didático para a revisão dos conteúdos de química orgânica

Abstract

Teaching centered on the transmission of knowledge, by the teacher leads students to perceive Chemistry as an uninteresting and complicated science to learn. However, one possibility of raising interest is through teaching strategies such as didactic games, which enable the active participation of students. The objective of this research included the elaboration and application of the didactic game Perfímica to approach the contents of Organic Chemistry with students from two classes of a federal public institution located in the city of Gaspar/SC. Perfímica is an adaptation of the game Perfil from Grow® and during the application, the students were receptive and dedicated to the activities. After the game, the students answered a survey to express their impressions about Perfímica. In general, the students' evaluation was positive and the highlighted subjects were group work, the interaction between colleagues and the dynamics of the game. In summary, it was possible to conclude that the Perfímica game fulfilled its intention, by balancing the recreational and educational functions, providing interest and motivation for students to participate without forgetting or neglecting the teaching contents.
