Uso de TDICs no ensino de química orgânica: uma sequência didática utilizando jogo (RPG).

Abstract

In the process of teaching and learning Chemistry, students are expected to be able to learn concepts and develop skills, such as formulas or theories, which often generates negative perceptions in the eyes of these students, passing the view of a discipline that is more difficult or considered tedious. . The use of technology as an ally to teaching can reverse this situation, especially if a playful and more attractive approach to students is used. Thus, an attempt was made to carry out a bibliographical study on the use of DICTs (Digital Information and Communication Technologies) in the process of teaching and learning Chemistry, raising possibilities for the use of technology as an aid to teaching. Based on this survey, an RPG (Role Playing Game) was developed to help teach organic chemistry and hydrocarbons in the school context. The proposed game follows a didactic sequence to work with concepts such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkadienes and cyclanes. The free platform Construct 3 was identified as a viable tool for the task, enabling the quick creation of the game, without the need for knowledge in Computer Programming. It is hoped that the work will serve as a motivation for other works that will use this platform as a basis for the development of other educational games, not just RPGs. With this, it is envisioned that the use of TDICs and RPG games, in particular, can play an important role in the teaching of Chemistry (as well as in other disciplines), showing the importance of play as a teaching resource.
