O uso do jogo “Bingo da sustentabilidade” como ferramenta educativa para o ensino de conceitos ambientais no ensino médio

Abstract

The term sustainability was introduced in the early 1980s by Lester Brown, one of the world's most important environmental thinkers. Considering that this topic should be widely discussed in the educational context, this research addresses the following key question: What are the contributions of “Sustainability Bingo” in teaching environmental concepts to high school students? Thus, the general objective of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of using this game as an educational tool for teaching environmental concepts to 3rd grade high school students at a state public school located in Uruçuí - PI. For the purposes of this research, a field study was conducted using a qualitative and quantitative approach. A priori, an educational bingo with an environmental theme was designed, with questions and answers already established. Two questionnaires were applied to 3rd grade high school students at the Centro Estadual de Tempo Integral (CETI) Cícero Coelho school, in the city of Uruçuí - PI. The results indicate that many students have difficulty conceptualizing certain topics related to the environment, such as sustainability and climate change. The game was found to be effective in promoting students' better understanding of the environmental concepts worked on. It is concluded that the game is an effective educational tool and facilitates learning about sustainability and other environmental concepts at school
