Jogando com as borboletas

Abstract

The present work aimed to develop a teaching-learning process based on the creation of a game entitled: playing with butterflies, about the preservation and conservation of butterflies and their natural habitat. After building the game, we sent it to the experts for validation, we used the Delphi method for this, after being properly validated, we applied it with ninth grade students in Brazil and Colombia, in order to evaluate its functionality and the students' learning and interest in both countries. We used as a methodology the convergent mixed design, which is an investigation approach that combines or associates the qualitative and quantitative form. The results indicate that this approach is an effective mediator between knowledge and students. We conclude that: Playing with butterflies has great possibilities to increase the active learning of Natural Sciences in the school space, working with little explored curricular components to increase their interest and motivation in students through a playful perspective that favors and complements formal learning.
