Abstract

Nowadays, it is necessary to renew the ways in which teachers transmit knowledge to students. Therefore, classroom dynamics such as rule following game, role play, and games are important strategies to be used in the classroom. With the present study, we aim to assist the construction of knowledge through dynamic food chain building on students' prior knowledge. To survey the students' previous conceptions, a quiz was applied to a total of 55 students (between 11 and 13 years old) at a public school in the city of São Pedro da Aldeia (Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil). We have found that although some students were already aware of the topic addressed, they still had several misconceptions. After the dynamics, the same quiz was once more applied to compare to students’ previous answers. Student’s knowledge related to the dynamics of the food chain theme has improved significantly. The proposals of classes with games associated with prior knowledge are tools that may help to improve the learning, as these types of classes attract the attention of students.
