As pistas de Mendel: uma proposta gamificada para o ensino de genética

Abstract

The implementation of the National Common Curriculum Base brought challenges to the teacher, among them, that of contextualizing the contents taught. The teaching of genetics in basic education, in turn, presents a series of difficulties, among which the low correlation of scientific terminology to the daily life of students and the traditional method used in classes stand out. Therefore, the proposal of new methods grows as an alternative to promote improvements in teaching. Faced with the problem, this work aims to relate gamification proposals and approach mendelian laws for the new high school, through the elaboration of a didactic booklet as a facilitating resource of the teaching-learning process of Mendel's First Law. We investigated the potential of gamification as an active methodology through a systematic literature review in bdtd, ERIC, google academic databases, CAPES Journal Portal, Scopus. The results pointed to gamification as a promising methodology in aspects such as intrinsic motivation of students, development of competencies and quantitative improvements. Based on these data, a didactic booklet was elaborated as a didactic proposal. The basis of a fictitious crime was used, where students play the role of investigators and must seek and solve a series of issues related to Mendel's first law to solve the case. Software and online platforms such as Augmented Zone Reality, Canva and Google docs were used in the preparation of the material.
