Abstract

learning. Due to the inclusion of new and increasingly attractive technologies, awakening students' interest in learning has become a progressively challenging task for the educator. Based on this, the need for a revolution in teaching arises. It is necessary to designate new methodologies, in which students can distinguish learning in a less complex and more attractive way. The choice of the present theme of this article originated from the need to expand the discussion about the use of games in Chemistry Teaching because, based on the experiences in the Supervised Internship, it was possible to observe the need for change, something that was not so mechanical, in which students were very dispersed, which made classes tiring, without their participation and interactions. The aim is to carry out a theoretical analysis of the importance of playful games and the way in which they were developed and put into practice in the classroom, and thus make a comparison, checking whether they actually work as an effective teaching tool or whether all of its effectiveness lies only in theory, without contributing significantly to student learning. In this sense, the problem to be answered by this work will be: How can playfulness contribute to the process of understanding the contents proposed in the Chemistry discipline? This work has the general objective: Understanding the importance of playfulness in the process of teaching and learning Chemistry. The results showed that the teacher often pays more attention to theory, formulas and calculations and the content becomes “heavy” and disconnected from reality. Therefore, students end up unmotivated and disinterested, not understanding why they study Chemistry. The instruction in the Chemistry subject is based on diverse scientific, theoretical and experimental knowledge, aiming at the student's mutual influence on the physical world and promoting the construction of citizenship, as it can be generated at school level. The conclusions reveal the importance of play as an instrument that can assist in the formation of knowledge, presenting itself as a tool with the aim of developing activities that can contribute to changing students' attitudes towards the subject of Chemistry.
