Educação ambiental: jogo da polinização como abordagem prática para ensino sobre biodiversidade

Abstract

Environmental education has been worked on over the years aiming at the sensitization and awareness of individuals on behalf of the environment. It is included in the school curriculum, with the function of structuring the consciousness of preservation and conservation of nature. The teaching of science acts on a large part of this education, leads the student to an interaction with the scientific and technological nature, and helps in the understanding of the human being in relation to the world and the society around him. The science teacher is in charge of providing a dynamic and innovative teaching through different methodologies, making the learning more fun and effective, aiming at the students' interest in knowledge, problematization, and investigation. Viewing these conditions, the goal of this work is to conduct a literature review investigating the contributions and effectiveness of the use of games in the process of teaching and learning of biodiversity in science, with a focus on environmental education, and to produce a game as teaching material. The chosen one was the methodology of exploratory research through a literature review, which aims to collect data on the effectiveness of games in teaching in general, but with a focus on the area of environmental education. Through this research it is intended to obtain data on the awareness of students and the results acquired in the approach to environmental education in the classroom through educational games in the discipline of science. The didactic material produced was a board game called Pollination Trail, with the intention of making the learning process more enjoyable, fun, and interactive for students, in a way that is accessible to all.
