Assimilação do conhecimento sobre revolução industrial através de um jogo de tabuleiro

Abstract

The study of the Industrial Revolution and the evolution of engines are events that have marked society and impact people's lives to this day. These topics are often addressed in school curricula, but are frequently considered unimportant by students due to the way they are presented. Therefore, this study, part of a Master's project in Science and Mathematics Education at the University of Caxias do Sul, based on Ausubel's theoretical assumptions, sought to use a board game to facilitate the learning of important historical concepts and facts in a playful way, making students the protagonists of their learning and promoting meaningful learning experiences. The project was developed in an elementary school in the municipality of Vacaria-RS, with an 8th-grade class that created a board game. The students showed motivation and interest in the topic. As a result, an educational product was developed: a practical guide that will support teachers with educational practices focused on working with steam engines, aiming to promote the active participation of students.
