Aplicabilidade do jogo de tabuleiro no ensino de história da ciência: conhecendo filósofos e cientistas

Abstract

The objective of this study is to present a study on the inclusion of the History of Science (HC) in the content of the Physics course through a board game. In this sense, the purpose of the research was to analyze, through the data collected, the students' level of knowledge regarding the importance of HC in the historical approach. The research consisted of a case study conducted in the 2nd year classes of the Technical courses in Agriculture and Administration integrated with high school at the Federal Institute of Piauí, Oeiras Campus, located in the city of Oeiras in the state of Piauí. To analyze and discuss the quantitatively collected data, an initial questionnaire was administered to assess the participants' prior knowledge of the topic. Next, the board game was played, and then a second questionnaire was administered to evaluate the game's effectiveness in teaching HC. Based on the data obtained, the results showed that students support the idea of using the narrative and historical context of HC when teachers introduce a new topic in physics. This will help students deepen their knowledge and understand the development of science over time. It was also found that most students were able to better understand the subject through the game. This shows how motivating it is for teachers to use games as one of their teaching tools during classes.
