Mediação de um game como instrumento em uma metodologia construtivista para o ensino de astronomia

Abstract

This work aimed to construct and mediate a game (RPG Style) as a supporting tool for the teaching of Astronomy, using the constructivist perspective of Rogers, in which the player can interact with the possible facts and in this way act in own process of knowledge building The present research was applied to the academics of Interdisciplinary Degree in Natural Sciences and Degree in Biological Sciences, of the UTFPR, Campus Ponta Grossa, and later questionnaires were proposed containing discursive and objective questions, in order to verify the feasibility of mediation of the game to its future students in the basic school. According to the analysis of the answers, it can be noted that AstroTibia possesses potentialities for the Teaching of Astronomy. In addition, it was verified that future teachers consider it crucial to articulate between Teaching and Technology, having digital tools that arouse students' interest and curiosity for a real assimilation of the planned content, in order to break with the possible and present traditional school lags. At the end of the questionnaire, the participants made suggestions for improvements to the game, from which they envisage the interest in continuing the study at the postgraduate level, making it possible to accept the ideas proposed to make AstroTibia available to the public.
