A ludicidade como estratégia pedagógica no ensino de química: o papel da gamificação na aprendizagem

Abstract

Traditional chemistry teaching often presents challenges related to abstraction and complex concepts, which can demotivate students. Therefore, playfulness emerges as an alternative to make learning more engaging, encouraging active student participation and facilitating content assimilation. The methodology used was a literature review, analyzing studies that discuss the application of playful activities in educational contexts and proposing the game "Chemical Tic Tac Toe" as a pedagogical possibility applicable to chemistry to aid the teaching and learning process. The study highlights the use of educational games, simulations, hands-on experiments, and gamified elements, which promote engagement and the development of cognitive and socio-emotional skills. The overall objective of the study is to investigate the importance and effectiveness of using playfulness in chemistry teaching, highlighting gamified elements. Expected results include increased student motivation, better understanding of chemical concepts, and improved pedagogical practices.
