Abstract
This article provides information about designing, implementing, and evaluating an online cooperative game─Vikings game─to assist high school and undergraduate students in reviewing contents related to thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and chemical kinetics. It is a free-of-charge game and is available in both English and Portuguese. The game was introduced into the classroom as an educational review tool, offering an innovative approach to supplement traditional problem-solving classes. Also, upon evaluating student learning, it became evident that the game significantly contributed to educational enhancement. The learners expressed highly favorable opinions about the game, considering it an innovative and valuable complementary didactic tool.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
