This present scientific investigation identified the perceptions of teachers in continuing education of the Specialization Course in Applied Technologies in Biology Teaching, the modality of distance education at the Federal University of Goiás about the playful context in their pedagogical action, emphasizing the characterization of digital ludic and the viability of the games in the teaching of Science/Biology. In line with a nature qualitative approach, the study has firmed in the presuppositions of a discursive textual analysis. As basic elements to perform the analysis, two sets of texts ("corpus"): the first set of texts is composed of an activity performed in the discipline the Introduction to Genetics and Molecular Biology for Teaching, in which teachers elaborated an playful activity to be applied in class room high school considering inclusive students. For this analysis, we considered two categories: the first refers to the understanding of ludic activity by the research subjects and the second refers to the manipulation of the toy as process of interaction between the subject and the object. The second set of texts is composed of a critical text elaborated by the course participants with respect the use of games made available on the platform the distance teaching highlighting if liked whether or not, advantages and disadvantages and the prospects and difficulties utilization games in their daily practice. It was requested also that students to describe how these games contributed to its formation while instructor. For this analysis, were also considered two categories: the first referring to the characterization of playful digital and the second, the feasibility of using games for teaching Science / Biology. The categories analyzed show that teachers think in the games and toys as a way to simulate scientific knowledge, with its own characteristics believing be objects viable in Science teaching. The results show that both the of the playful context as the virtual learning environments need to be discussed in the academic community considering the process of government investment and expansion of continuing education courses in distance education. These courses in continuing education teachers take ownership of new practices and methodologies that facilitate the teaching learning process.
