Mobilização de habilidades socioemocionais: aplicação do jogo QuíJenga com licenciandos em química

Abstract

The National Curricular Common Base (BNCC) is a comprehensive view of education that goes beyond intellectual development. The document establishes that it is necessary to offer opportunities for individuals to know each other, appreciate themselves, take care of their physical and emotional health, and understand human diversity. In addition, it highlights the importance of recognizing one's own emotions and those of others, cultivating empathy and the ability to deal with emotions in individual or collective situations, with autonomy and self-criticism. In this context, it is understood that the teacher can use in his/her classes, resources that contribute and satisfy the aforementioned competences, so the use of games as a didactic resource is gaining more and more space. They can arouse students' interest in learning and provide opportunities for cooperative and group work, promoting dialogue. From this perspective, the research identified whether the context proposed during the application of a game entitled "QuíJenga" mobilized socio-emotional skills in Chemistry Teaching undergraduates. Nine undergraduate students in Chemistry Teaching, enrolled in the subjects of mandatory curricular internships, participated in the research. In data collection, the QuíJenga game was adapted and applied according to the objectives proposed for this work. In addition, we used participant observation, diaries and questionnaires as instruments to collect data. In short, the QuíJenga game proved to be an effective educational tool, not only promoting the learning of Chemistry, but also stimulating the integral development of students. Its engaging dynamics were able to mobilize essential socio-emotional skills: self-management, engagement with others, kindness, emotional resilience and openness to new things, strengthening both the participants' cognitive, emotional and social aspects. Therefore, QuíJenga represents a valuable contribution to the field of education, offering a playful and enriching approach that enhances students' learning and growth.
