Pokémon e a tabela periódica: uma abordagem alternativa para o ensino de química

Abstract

The article discusses the application of a didactic sequence that uses Pokémon as a tool to teach content from the Periodic Table, aiming to make learning more dynamic and meaningful. The research was conducted with first-year high school students in Uruaçu-GO and adopted a qualitative approach, focusing on the creation of Pokémon inspired by chemical elements. Although the proposal generated interest and creative productions, challenges were also identified, such as difficulties in text interpretation and understanding of chemical concepts. The results suggest that, despite the potential of pop culture references in chemistry education, it is essential for the teacher to act as a mediator to ensure that students adequately assimilate scientific concepts.
