Adaptação do jogo de tabuleiro moderno concept para o ensino de química, sob a luz da teoria histórico-cultural

Abstract

School education should provide students with the appropriation of the culture produced and accumulated socially and historically (science, art, ethics, technique), offering them the opportunity to broaden their concepts and form new higher psychological functions according to Historical-Cultural Theory. In this This research uses some Vygotsky‘s theoretical contributions as mainideas for the development of reflection Vygotsky was the main theoretical contribution for the development of reflections, highlighting the importance of the abstraction process for the formation of concepts. In order for this process to be favored, we suggest the use of games, considering that, for Vygotsky, it is also it is also through and in the game that the it is also through and in the game that the individual the game that the individual is able to attribute different meanings to objects, through their ludic action, to develop their capacity for abstract capacity for to abstract. This premise leads us to think about the concept of imminent development zone: the child, at each moment of his development, has the real level of development and the level of potential development. The first represents the child's ability to perform tasks independently. The level of potential development would be your ability to perform tasks with help from more capable adults or friends. The distance between these two levels is the imminent development zone. By interfering in the IZD, an educator will be contributing to move the development processes of the child's complex mental functions, with the game being an effective tool for this purpose to be achieved. Therefore, we carried out the adaptation of the Boardgame Concept® for Chemistry Teaching, as we identified in it aspects that are related to the formation of concepts in HCT. Because of this research‘s characteristics work, and being the original Concept® our object of study, it can be classified as a documentary research. As a methodological design, we used the focus group and participant observation to manage the playtest of the game, with the aim of identifying gameplay aspects of the adapted Concept®. Therefore, we can say that there are facilitating elements for the development of abstraction, especially for the representation of chemical terms/concepts
