O uso da trilha química periódica como ferramenta auxiliar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de química

Abstract

This research arose from the teacher/researcher's observation of chemistry teaching in some schools during the supervised internship of the Chemistry Degree course at UNIFAP. The objective is to analyze the impacts of the Periodic Chemistry Trail as an auxiliary tool in learning chemistry. The didactic-methodological intervention consisted of adapting and applying the Trilha Química Periódica game to 24 high school students from a state school located in the municipality of Porto Grande, Amapá. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire applied during the pedagogical intervention. The results showed that the traditional method and complex content discourage and disinterest students in science, and that the game has educational potential, but needs to be articulated with other pedagogical practices. It is concluded that the Trilha Química Periódica game was an effective didactic alternative to improve teaching and learning in chemistry in the sample studied, and can be adapted to other contents and teaching levels
