Formação continuada para professores de ciências sobre o uso de jogos digitais

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the perceptions of participating teachers about the development and use of digital didactic games for teaching science in the continuing education of teachers in the final years of elementary school. With the participation of teachers from the Paraná State Department of Education, we proposed a workshop aimed at discussing and developing digital didactic games, using Jamboard, Wordwall and Dice Thrower as technological resources. This is a qualitative study based on the Discourse Analysis proposed by Orlandi, since the data analysis used the writings, speeches and actions of the workshop participants and a questionnaire. This research resulted in the production of two educational products: a booklet containing step bystep instructions for building a digital board game, and a website containing all the content and games produced during the continuing education workshop. Throughout the research, it was noted that continuing education is an effective way of producing digital didactic games in science teaching.
