Jogos digitais e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em biologia: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Biology teaching presents challenges related to the understanding of contents considered abstract and complex by students, especially when approached through traditional methodologies focused on memorization. In this context, digital games emerge as important playful tools capable of making the teaching-learning process more dynamic, interactive, and meaningful. This study aimed to analyze the contributions of digital games in Biology teaching, highlighting their pedagogical potential and the challenges related to their use in the school environment. The research was characterized as a bibliographic review with a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on the analysis of scientific articles published between 2019 and 2023. The studies were obtained from national scientific platforms and journals related to the topic. The results showed that digital games promote students’ motivation, engagement, and active participation, in addition to contributing to the understanding of biological contents and the development of cognitive skills. It was concluded that digital games provide significant contributions to Biology teaching, especially by enabling more innovative, interactive, and meaningful pedagogical practices aligned with students’ reality.
