O ensino de ciências por meio de um jogo pedagógico: uma proposta de utilização de conto interativo como uma abordagem lúdica na aprendizagem de química por meio do Google Forms

Abstract

This Final Paper presents an innovative proposal in Chemistry teaching, with the use of an interactive short story as a pedagogical resource. The author, inspired by his personal and academic experiences, developed a short story that allows the reader to make decisions that influence the outcome of the story, which provides a playful and contextualized learning experience. The adopted research methodology is of qualitative nature, with an interpretative approach. There were many stages in the development process of the interactive short story, from the choice of theme and chemical concepts to be covered to the transformation of the short story into an interactive format, with the use of the Google Forms tool. The resulting short story, titled “Sou perito químico! E agora?” (I’m a chemical specialist! What now?), is an investigative mystery story, in which the reader takes the role of a chemical specialist that needs to solve an intoxication case. In addition to exploring concepts related to inorganic chemistry, acid-base balance and chemical reactions, the short story also deals with important social themes, such as racism, prejudice, and inclusion. The author concludes that the interactive short story is an effective pedagogical approach, capable of stimulating students’ creativity, raising their interest in Chemistry and contributing to the formation of critical and mindful citizens.
