O uso da plataforma WordWall enquanto recurso complementar para o ensino de funções inorgânicas

Abstract

Digital technologies permeate educational institutions, as well as the most diverse areas of an increasingly computerized society. The present study was carried out to investigate classes in the traditional format, combined with digital technologies (DT) and the principles of gamification, with a view to promoting meaningful learning. The intervention carried out had as its target audience a 1st year high school class with training in the Technical Chemistry course, at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG), Itumbiara campus – GO, in the 2nd semester of the year 2023. A traditional, expository methodology class was held, with the theme of inorganic functions. Another class was added to this class, working on the same topic, with the use of digital technologies, representing an activity to fix the content taught, using the WordWall platform. After completion of the planned classes, satisfaction and learning assessment data were collected using Google Forms. The use of this methodology sought to demonstrate that the use of digital technologies, such as gamification proposed through the Wordwall platform, represents a method that facilitates learning, in terms of fixing content, and the results obtained show that the application has better use as content assessment.
