História em jogos : Afro Quiz como ferramenta pedagógica

Abstract

This paper presents the “Afro Quiz” game developed by the author with the help of Law 10.639/03, which makes the teaching of African history and Afro-Brazilian culture compulsory in education. This game was created to serve as an aid for primary and secondary school teachers. The aim of this research is to discuss a re-reading of the memory built up about the black population since the post-abolition period, so the game seeks to make the player look for black people in the society around them who are in a leading role. In order to prepare the “Afro Quiz”, a search was carried out in the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC to find out which competences fit in with the game, namely, “(EF08HI19) Formulate questions about the legacy of slavery in the Americas, based on the selection and consultation of sources of different natures” and also, “(EF08HI20) Identify and relate aspects of current social structures with the legacies of slavery in Brazil and discuss the importance of affirmative action”. At the end of the research, “Afro Quiz” was created, a card game inspired by the game “UNO”. a game already widespread in Brazil. The “Afro Quiz” was given in class to classes in the 8th year of elementary school and the 1st year of secondary school. After its application, a questionnaire with 16 questions was applied to find out how effective the game was in relation to the proposed theme, which generated 43 questionnaires that will be presented and discussed in this research.
