DIDACTIC GAMES FOR SOCIOLOGY CLASSES: A MAPPING OF PRODUCTIONS

Abstract

The game, used for an educational purpose, presents itself as a support for the teaching-learning process, and can be used as a way of approaching scientific knowledge in the school environment, thus demonstrating to be a facilitator throughout the teaching process. In the case of didactic games applied in sociology teaching, a previous survey (Rogério, 2020) identified few publications of articles, dissertations and theses that address the topic of using didactic games produced by teachers or students. In this way, this article aims to map the production of didactic games in sociology teaching. To this end, a survey was carried out on the EduCapes platforms, annals of ABECS, annals of ENESEB, Periódico CABECS, Revista Perspectiva Sociológica, Dissertações do Profsocio and the annals of the SBS sociology teaching GT. 23 works were found on these platforms. After reading these productions, 12 more productions were found in the references of these works. The results show a still growing, but significant, number of educational games found in the most diverse types of publications. This means that other teachers and students have contact with this material and can be inspired to use and even encourage their creations to be used as activities in the classroom.
