Abstract

This research intention is inserted in the context of promoting the Teaching of Chemistry articulated to the needs of teachers in initial and continued training in secondary education. Based on this, solving problems that are related to the interest and teaching and learning of students by the discipline of Chemistry in public and private schools in the school environment, leads the teacher to seek to develop diversified strategies that can make this teaching more attractive and motivating for the classroom. of class. It is in an attempt to contribute to this pedagogical practice that the use of games developed for Teaching Chemistry is presented as a useful tool to contemplate this research. In this sense, this work analyzes the following question: Can the elaboration of a compendium of works containing didactic games for Chemistry Teaching help teachers in choosing the didactic games that best suit their classroom? Considering this issue, this research aims at the elaboration and evaluation of a didactic material aimed at Chemistry teachers in which it is possible to easily find the didactic games already developed for Chemistry Teaching, identifying in them which characteristics are present to be considered didactic in view of of the foundation that sustains learning through games. For that, we developed, validated and applied a Compendium, containing games for Teaching Chemistry with guidelines for the teacher. The data collection procedure was carried out through the application of two questionnaires composed of open questions with students of the Degree in Chemistry at the Federal Institute - Campus Ipanguaçu and a group of undergraduate students in Chemistry linked to the Institutional Program of Scholarship for Teaching Initiation from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. These data were analyzed using Bardin's content analysis. The results obtained suggest that the Compendium as an Educational Product has the potential to help Basic Education teachers in choosing didactic games to be used in the classroom.
