Resumo: | Pediculosis is a parasitic infection commonly found in Brazilian school communities. Despite campaigns for controlling head lice, prevalence rates remain high. This work introduces the educational game “Lice Hunt” as part of a learning sequence designed to inform about lice biology and prevention of pediculosis in a playful way. Thus, 4th and 5th grade students from a public elementary school participated in lecture classes and workshops as well as played “Lice Hunt”. We verified that the game encouraged good students’ involvement and promoted learning of topics discussed. Lack of student interest was also observed. This was possibly due to age and/or difficulties in reading and understanding questions. Besides facilitating learning about pediculosis, this game could be a tool in detecting literacy problems when incorporated into an interdisciplinary strategy involving Science and Portuguese teachers. When developing or using games in Education, it is important to evaluate the quality of such products to assure that they are useful in learning, justifying its application. Therefore, research that focuses on developing methods to evaluate the efficacy of educational games as active learning methodology are particularly encouraged |

A despeito das campanhas para controle do piolho de cabeça, as taxas de prevalência permanecem altas. Este trabalho apresenta o jogo educativo “Caça-Piolhos” como parte de uma sequência didática para informar, de forma lúdica, sobre a biologia do piolho e a prevenção da pediculose. Estudantes dos 4o e 5o anos do ensino fundamental de uma unidade escolar pública participaram de aulas expositivas dialogadas, oficinas além de participar do jogo “Caça-Piolhos”. Verificou-se que o jogo manteve um bom nível de engajamento dos estudantes, permitindo verificar o aprendizado dos conteúdos discutidos. Observou-se ainda a falta de interesse de alguns estudantes em função da idade e/ou dificuldades na leitura e compreensão das perguntas. Além de promover o aprendizado sobre a pediculose, este jogo poderia atuar como ferramenta na detecção de problemas de alfabetização se caso fosse incorporado à uma estratégia interdisciplinar envolvendo professores de Ciências e Português. Ao desenvolver ou utilizar jogos educativos é importante avaliar a qualidade destes produtos para assegurar que eles trazem benefícios à aprendizagem, justificando a sua utilização. Assim, estudos que desenvolvam métodos para avaliar a eficiência dos jogos educativos como metodologia ativa de ensino-aprendizagem são encorajados.Editora Cruzeiro do Sul2020-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistapos.cruzeirodosul.edu.br/rencima/article/view/184310.26843/rencima.v11i1.1843Revista de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática; v. 11 n. 1 (2020): jan./mar.; 189-2012179-426X10.26843/rencima.v11i1reponame:Revista de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática - REnCiMainstname:Universidade de Caxias do Sul (UCS)instacron:UCSporhttps://revistapos.cruzeirodosul.edu.br/rencima/article/view/1843/1225https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBogéa, Tami PestanaAraújo, ArturSilva Cardoso, Aline AparecidaVieira de Melo, JonathanTeixeira da Rocha, Rebeca FernandesPereira dos Santos, Ludmila Lorraine2023-04-21T02:42:43Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1843Revistahttps://revistapos.cruzeirodosul.edu.br/index.php/rencima/indexPRIhttps://revistapos.cruzeirodosul.edu.br/index.php/rencima/oai||rencima@cruzeirodosul.edu.br2179-426X2179-426Xopendoar:2023-04-21T02:42:43Revista de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática - REnCiMa - Universidade de Caxias do Sul (UCS)false |
