Jogo de tabuleiro "espaço da pesquisa" : uma ferramenta auxiliar de ensino introduzida em uma sequência didática proposta para o ensino de eletricidade básica

Abstract

This study describes research conducted in two first-year classes of the integrated technical high school programs in Automação Industrial e Eletromecânica, in the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Mato Grosso - IFMT, Campus Avançado Sinop, during the first two school terms of 2024, in the subjects of Eletricidade and Eletricidade Básica. In the research, a didactic sequence on the analysis of electrical circuits was applied, based on David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning and the critical approach of Marco Antonio Moreira. As an educational product, a board game entitled “Espaço da Pesquisa” was developed with the objective of promoting inquiry-based learning and encouraging students to solve problems independently. The game cards contain content, formulas, and problem data, which are gradually unveiled as students progress through the game. “Espaço da Pesquisa” was designed to be played in teams in the classroom environment, favoring social interaction and collaborative learning. The observed results indicate that the tool was well received, favoring the development of interpersonal relationships among teams members and strengthening the capacity to solve problems. The educational product, inserted in the didactic sequence, demonstrated potential as a facilitator for meaningful learning.
