Desenvolvimento de jogo de tabuleiro como recurso didático no estudo do cálculo no número de oxidação.

Abstract

This study enabled the development and investigation of the impact of the game 'QuestNOX' as a playful methodology for teaching oxidation number calculations in Chemistry classes. The methodology used in the research involved the analysis of pre- and post-evaluative questionnaire results answered by high school students from the public education system, focusing on the perception, experience, and effectiveness of the game as an educational tool. The game proved to be effective in promoting a deeper understanding of calculations involving oxidation numbers, resulting in a significant improvement in students' understanding of the topic, thus achieving the proposed objectives of the tool. Despite the gaps in the students' prior knowledge of the content. The methodology behind the game generated positive impacts on retention and comprehension of the subject, revealing the game's effectiveness as a promising tool in an educational context. This research points to the relevance of using educational strategies such as games, which in turn are an effective means to enhance the teaching and learning process in Chemistry, offering a more dynamic and interactive environment for students. The results obtained highlight the need for investment in approaches focused on the theme of this work, which, to some extent, assist in enriching students' knowledge, emphasizing their role in promoting learning and content retention.
