Different strategies have been proposed to improve the teaching-learning process in different fields. One option to optimize learning, increasing students' involvement and providing group discussions, is the use of educational games (EG). In this study, we evaluated the students' perceptions about the use of EG as a tool to facilitate the understanding of key concepts related to Human Physiology (HP). Educational games addressing the bioelectric membrane potential and the cardiac cycle were used to complement theoretical classes. After the games' use, the students were invited to evaluate their use. We verified that students consider that EG are interesting tools to improve HP teaching and that they contribute to the understanding of the content worked in the classroom. ResumoDiferentes estratégias têm sido propostas para melhorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em diferentes compos. Uma opção para otimizar o aprendizado, aumentando o envolvimento dos alunos e proporcionando discussões em grupo, é o uso de jogos educacionais (JE). Neste estudo, nós avaliamos as percepções dos alunos sobre o uso do JE como uma ferramenta para facilitar o entendimento de conceitos-chave relacionados à Fisiologia Humana (FH). Jogos abordando os potenciais bioelétricos da membrana celular e o ciclo cardíaco foram utilizados para complementar as aulas teóricas de Fisiologia. Após o uso dos jogos, os alunos foram convidados a avaliá-los. Verificamos que os alunos consideram o JE ferramentas interessantes para melhorar o ensino da FH e que contribuem para a compreensão do conteúdo trabalhado em sala de aula.Palavras-chave: Processo ensino-aprendizagem; Metodologias ativas; Jogos educacionais. 41Journal of Biochemistry Education
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
