Conceptual maps as educational games for physics teaching
Concept maps, Science teaching, Educational games, Meaningful learning, Collaborative activity
Conceptual Maps (MC) are graphical tools used for the organization and presentation of knowledge. This tool can also be used as an evaluation method, helping to monitor the teaching-learning process. However, the first contact with the MC by the students and faculty demands more attention and time, especially for better training in the field of map development technique. In this way, a didactic game was developed as an educational product whose functionality can facilitate the construction of the first maps, as well as assist in the development of didactic practices in the teaching of Physics and in the evaluation of the learning of scientific concepts. The game will be applied to high school classes at a public school in Natal
