Pedagogical practice, Chemistry Teaching, Didactic Games

The present research intention is inserted in the context of the promotion of a Teaching of Chemistry articulated to the needs of the teachers of the initial and continuous formation of the High School. Based on this, solving problems that are related to the interest and teaching and learning of students in the discipline of Chemistry in public and private schools in the school environment, leads the teacher to seek to develop diversified strategies that can make this teaching more attractive and motivating for the classroom. It is seeking to contribute to this pedagogical practice that the use of games developed for the Teaching of Chemistry presents itself as a useful tool to contemplate this research. In this sense, this work leads to the following question for analysis: Would the use of a compendium with games already identified and produced for Chemistry Teaching published in journals in the last 20 years be a facilitating resource for the teacher to identify the characteristics of a didactic game? Considering this question, this research aims at the elaboration and evaluation of a didactic material aimed at Chemistry teachers in which it is possible to easily find the didactic games already developed for the Teaching of Chemistry, identifying in them which characteristics are present to be considered didactic and indicating application guidelines in view of the foundation that supports learning through games. Therefore, a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach will be used, using the elaboration, application and evaluation of an educational product in the form of a compendium, containing games for the Teaching of Chemistry with guidance for the teacher. The data collection procedure was carried out through the application of two questionnaires consisting of open questions with students of the 1st period of the Degree in Chemistry of the Instituto Federal - Campus Ipanguaçu who will be treated and studied through content analysis (CA) from Bardin (1977).
