MODERN BOARD GAMES AND THE PLAYFUL IN ECOLOGY TEACHING
Playful, Games, Biology, Ecology.
The present work approaches the ludic teaching in biology, more specifically the analysis, elaboration and re-elaboration of the analogical games in the teaching of ecology. Its nature is qualitative meta-analysis using the Discursive Textual Analysis methodology. It is therefore intended to propose a manual for the analysis, adaptation and creation of educational games with such thematic focus. In the first chapter we approach the ludic based on some of the classic authors of the theme, such as Huizinga (1993), Caillois (1990) and Brougère (1998). In a second moment, we characterize the analogical board and table games according to Woods (2012), who divides the games into classics, mass market and modern ones, also giving a history of these and being our object the modern games, which are subdivided in war games, role-playing games, collectible card games and eurogames. Then, the ludic in teaching is approached, having its panorama traced back to the ludic and pedagogical aspect of ancient Greek philosophy, with emphasis on the eristics of the sophists and the Socratic dialectic, which were passed on to the Roman schools of rhetoric and inherited by the medieval academy, emphasizing that properly playful approaches will only begin in Romanticism, with Rousseau's Emile (1762), going through Richter's Levana (1807), Froebel until reaching the most recent theories, such as those of Piaget (2010) and Vygotsky (2007) and in national researchers dedicated to playful science teaching, such as Kishimoto (2003), Cleophas, Soares and Cavalcanti (2018). Finally, game design is approached according to Schell (2008), Engelstein and Shalev (2020). Ecology was characterized by the beacons of Odum (1988), Acot (1990), Townsend, Begon and Harper (2010); Cain, Bowman, Hacker (2018) and others. In the legal part, a brief history was made starting from the National Environmental Education Policy (Law 9,795 of April 27, 1999), the National Curriculum Parameters/Environment (PCN/Meio Ambiente, 1997) and the BNCC (2018). It is intended to develop an overview of playfulness in the teaching of biology and ecology based on national journals aimed at teaching natural sciences, biology and playful teaching of natural sciences, thus glimpsing the playful culture in this clipping.
