Lozz e os hidrocarbonetos: uma forma inovadora de ensinar química orgânica no ensino médio

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) proposes to promote critical and reflective training for students, aiming to develop their cognitive and socio-emotional skills, with a focus on preparing new citizens for society. As a result, new tools and teaching models are required to develop education properly, and technology brings with it fundamental resources for this, especially in chemistry teaching, where students have difficulties in subjects such as the identification and nomenclature of organic compounds. With the aim of promoting and enhancing knowledge about nomenclature and identification of organic compounds covered in the chemistry discipline in basic education, especially the 3rd year of high school, and proposing a new approach to teaching organic chemistry, a didactic game entitled " Lozz and Hydrocarbons". Initially, a bibliographic survey was carried out on gamification and creative learning linked to chemistry teaching, and four chemistry games were selected to provide a better basis for the intended playful activity. To develop the game, the block programming language Scratch was used, developed in 2007 by the MIT Media Lab, linked to other digital tools, aiming to help in the identification and nomenclature of organic compounds, through questions involving hydrocarbons. As a result, the game "Lozz and Hydrocarbons" presents teaching tools such as questions focused on hydrocarbon content, using images and easy-tounderstand nomenclature with a playful presentation through the use of resources observed in games. Through this tool, students can be motivated to explore their knowledge and skills in organic chemistry, through questions and challenges proposed in a dynamic and attractive way. Due to the game being focused especially on hydrocarbons, the goal is to expand the chemistry contents, inserting new classes of compounds, such as oxygenated, nitrogenous and halide compounds.
