HERANÇAS MENDELIANAS: ESTUDO BIBLIOGRÁFICO SOBRE METODOLOGIAS LÚDICAS COMO INSTRUMENTO DE ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM

Abstract

This article presents a review study on the use of play as a facilitating tool in the teaching learning process about the content of Mendelian inheritances. The use of playful approaches in the educational context has proven to be an effective strategy to facilitate the understanding of complex concepts by students, as well as to encourage the development of scientific skills. The research was carried out through a review of articles published between 2019 and 2022. Articles from scientific journals were selected, which addressed the topic in question. The search was carried out in Google Scholar databases, using keywords related to the use of playful methodologies in teaching Mendelian inheritance and only articles in Portuguese were used. The results of the review indicate that the use of playful methodologies in teaching genetics can significantly contribute to students' understanding of the content. Games promote positive development for students in fixing content and facilitate the learning of abstract concepts. In addition, games also promote engagement and affective participation of students in the classroom, developing interaction between teacher and students.
