O RPG como uma ferramenta lúdica para o ensino de Física

Abstract

This work aims to present the use of Role-Playing Game (RPG) as an active methodological practice, exploring playfulness to foster the understanding of Newton’s three Laws. The proposal is based on the idea that students, guided by challenges and mediated by the teacher, can build knowledge in a meaningful way. To this end, the concept of RPG and its gameplay dynamics are discussed, as well as its educational feasibility in light of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), through a comparison between the competencies outlined in the document and the benefits highlighted by authors who have investigated its application in education. The study also presents a logical-historical approach to Newton’s Laws, discussing the ideas and arguments of scholars of the time and their relation to current formalization. As a result of these analyses, a ludic game entitled “A Sinfonia do Saber” is proposed, offering students a logical pathway similar to the one described and contributing to their understanding of Newton’s Laws.
