Explorando a tecnologia Genially: uma proposta pedagógica no ensino de Química

Abstract

In recent years, the use of educational technologies has proven to be essential in the teaching-learning process, especially in Chemistry teaching, which is seen as a complex subject by some students. Thus, this study sought to investigate the potential of the Genially digital platform as na effective pedagogical tool in Chemistry teaching, verifying its functionalities and the impact of its appliance on students’ cognitive skills. The research aimed to provide insights into how this digital platform can be integrated into the Chemistry subject curriculum. Descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out, in which a presentation on chemical bonds was given using a game called “Trilha Científica: Quí-Ligações”, which used the Genially platform as a teaching strategy. The theoretical framework developed included authors such as Baruffi and Baruffi (2023), Costa, Gonçalvez and Costa (2023), and Santos et al. (2016). The data were systematized using content analysis. The research demonstrated that the Genially platform is na effective tool to make Chemistry teaching dynamic and interactive, highlighting the educational game “Quí-Ligações” as a practical example. The game used visual and playful resources to facilitate the understanding of chemical bonds, promoting active learning and adapted to the needs of students. Despite some initial challenges, the use of Genially proved promising for preparing students for a technological world, transforming Chemistry teaching into na engaging and student-centered experience.
