Construção e análise de uma história em quadrinhos (HQ) no ensino de Química: uma proposta lúdica

Abstract

Chemistry teaching plays a crucial role in educational development, but research indicates that traditional approaches based on memorization can limit learning and demotivate students. Comic books (comics) are narratives that combine text and images in sequential frames, being widely disseminated and attractive to different age groups. Features such as onomatopoeia, balloons, drawings in frames and the presence of characters define comics. Its use in the classroom is justified by its potential to capture students' attention, deepen concepts and stimulate discussions. The general objective of the work is the creation, application and analysis of an Interactive Comic Book, using game theory, especially the functions of the pedagogical game according to Piagetian theory. The game was applied to first-year high school classes, a school located in the city of Anápolis. This qualitative research used content analysis as a data analysis method. Based on Piagetian theories, the research is valid in the construction of the comic and its analysis in the concepts of assimilation and accommodation, the results obtained showed that the game, for these groups, presented great evidence in the Educational and recreational Function (Deus, 2019), other functions of the pedagogical game could also be observed, the balance function proves to be an important factor for future applications. Therefore, the pedagogical approach through Comics emerges as an innovative and effective strategy for teaching chemistry, promoting student interaction and engagement.
