This thesis entitled "Use of didactical games in teaching mathematics at the lower secondary level" deals with the use of educational games in math classes at secondary schools. This work is composed of two main parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part introduces the concepts of the game, didactic game, math games. More specifically focus on the modification of the board game Monopoly. The practical part is devoted to quantitative research, which determines what is the attitude of mathematics teachers of lower secondary school teaching to the use of games in education, as well as focus on the views and experiences of students with didactic game. Also, the work compares the written test of the curriculum for the class that graduated mathematical hour with the inclusion of educational games monopolies and class that this teaching not undergone.

The aim of this study is to collect the recent data about the establishing the lines of pluripotent stem cell and the usage of these cells for biomedical purposes. On this example, we integrated the education in life science and social science. Pluripotent stem cells were used as a key topic. During our project, we completed the PowerPoint presentation which provides the elementary knowledge on the method for establishing of pluripotent cell lines and the usage of these cells for biomedicine. We created the Czech version of didactic game PlayDecide based on the European Union project. Based on the experiences from this didactic game, the students will learn basic information on pluripotent stem cells and their usage in biomedicine. Students will establish their own opinion on ethical aspects of this topic. Students could be able to defend their opinion and to acknowledge all problems which stem from the suggested solutions. We tested this didactic game in schools.

This thesis deals with method of activation of didactic games and its application into the teaching process. It's focused on the theoretical description and also on the practical use in the teaching of the French language. This method is introduced as one of the ways how to practice language in funny form, but also to gain new knowledge and language skills. We will describe its major aspects and also its place in the curriculum documents as well. We will emphasize its benefits, but also the possible difficulties in its application into the teaching of foreign language. We will mention the process of the game and the atmosphere appropriate to it's use too. In the practical part we will focus on the activities which are suitable for level A0 to A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The teacher / classroom model with traditional teaching has leaved to be the main medium in the teaching-learning process. Faced with this new educational paradigm, the need arises to seek strategies that increase the interest, the motivation and consequently the level of learning of the students. In this sense, we have the ludic forms of teaching, such as the application of didactic games, which are increasingly present in the school environment. From this context, a didactic game, entitled "Space Track" and an educational video called "Unraveling the Universe", was created. The theme is about Planets and Dwarf Planets, Eclipse, Seasons of the Year, General Astronomy and Constellations. In particular, these tools can be used in both formal and non-formal learning environments. In this work the product was applied in five classes of Elementary School and four of the High School of the Col?gio Estadual Ferreira Pinto. The survey of prior knowledge and learning after the implementation of activities was carried out through pre- and post-tests on the above topics. / Atualmente, em virtude das v?rias op??es tecnol?gicas, do vasto acesso ? informa??o e da desmotiva??o de alguns estudantes, muito se discute na literatura sobre a forma de ensino de modo que ela se torne diversificada e atrativa. O modelo professor/sala de aula com o ensino tradicional tem deixado de ser o principal meio no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Diante desse novo paradigma educacional, surge a necessidade de buscar estrat?gias que aumentem o interesse, a motiva??o e consequentemente o n?vel de aprendizagem dos alunos. Neste sentido, temos as formas l?dicas de ensino, como, por exemplo, a aplica??o de jogos did?ticos, que est?o cada vez mais presentes no ambiente escolar. A partir desse contexto, foi elaborado um jogo did?tico, intitulado ?Trilha Espacial? e um v?deo educativo chamado ?Desvendando o Universo?, cuja tem?tica trata sobre Planetas e Planetas An?es, Eclipse, Esta??es do Ano, Conhecimentos Gerais de Astronomia e Constela??es. Em particular, estas ferramentas podem ser utilizadas em ambientes de ensino formal e n?o formal. Neste trabalho o produto foi aplicado em cinco turmas do Ensino Fundamental e quatro do Ensino M?dio do Col?gio Estadual Ferreira Pinto. A sondagem do conhecimento pr?vio e do aprendizado ap?s a aplica??o das atividades foi realizada por meio de pr? e p?s-testes sobre os temas citados.

This public is historically marked by inherent prejudices of roots that have arisen since the colonization of our country, and today we still show discourses and practices that are not in keeping with the real needs of these students. In this sense, education aimed at serving this public should privilege and value the students' prior knowledge, of training to ensure meaningful learning. One of the issues that catches our attention is the disciplines of the natural sciences, which are rich in content to be explored, but still present in our schools with only theoretical lessons, full of concepts and detached from reality. Using resources and didactic strategies for science teaching has been a recurring discourse and consensus among researchers in the area of teaching, but having these strategies clearly and organized is not a simple task and is not always available to the Teacher in the classroom. To insert games, games, videos, cinema, and finally some pedagogical tool to help the development of the teaching process, especially the teaching of science, is a very plausible proposal that can generate good results with respect to student learning efficiency . A good planning in search of the creation of a playful environment, freed of obligations and oriented to the joke, can stimulate the student in the search of the understanding of the proposed contents, through a language of easy access and understanding. This is a view that has been widely researched by different authors, and supports this work, which is based on the making and execution of a didactic game for science teaching. Flemming & Mello (2003) reports that the use of classroom games (JD) always has two premises: The need to innovate and the facility to promote the creative process. Therefore, in this work we do not intend to propose a better method of teaching, but to contribute in a positive way to the experience report of the use of playfulness as a way of insertion and motivation of young and adult students in the disciplines of Teaching Nature Sciences Middle School of a State School in the Municipality of Serop?dica, RJ, in order to promote a more meaningful learning. / Apesar de vivermos num mundo cercado de tecnologias e inova??es, o contexto das pol?ticas p?blicas para a Educa??o de Jovens e Adultos ainda se apresenta com pouca for?a no Brasil e em v?rias partes do mundo. Este p?blico ? historicamente marcado por preconceitos inerentes de ra?zes surgidas desde a coloniza??o do nosso pa?s, e nos dias de hoje, ainda evidenciamos discursos e pr?ticas n?o condizentes com as reais necessidades destes estudantes. Neste sentido, a educa??o voltada para atender este p?blico deve privilegiar e valorizar os conhecimentos pr?vios dos estudantes, de formar a garantir uma aprendizagem significativa. Uma das quest?es que nos chama a aten??o s?o as disciplinas de ci?ncias da natureza, as quais s?o ricas em conte?dos a serem explorados, mas ainda se apresentam em nossas escolas com aulas apenas te?ricas, repletas de conceitos e descoladas da realidade. Utilizar recursos e estrat?gias did?ticas para o ensino de ci?ncias tem sido um discurso recorrente e um consenso entre os pesquisadores na ?rea de ensino, mas ter a disposi??o estas estrat?gias de forma clara e organizada n?o ? uma tarefa t?o simples e nem sempre est? ? disposi??o do professor em sala de aula. Inserir jogos, brincadeiras, v?deos, cinema, enfim alguma ferramenta pedag?gica para auxiliar o desenvolvimento do processo de ensino, em especial do ensino de ci?ncias, ? uma proposta bastante plaus?vel e que pode gerar bons frutos no que diz respeito ? efici?ncia da aprendizagem do estudante. Um bom planejamento em busca da cria??o de um ambiente l?dico, liberto de obriga??es e voltados para a brincadeira, pode estimular o estudante na busca da compreens?o dos conte?dos propostos, atrav?s de uma linguagem de f?cil acesso e entendimento. Essa ? uma vis?o que tem sido bastante pesquisada por diferentes autores, e que suporta este trabalho, que tem como base a confec??o e execu??o de um jogo did?tico para o ensino de ci?ncias. Flemming & Mello (2003) relata que a utiliza??o de Jogos did?ticos (JD) em sala de aula tem sempre duas premissas: A necessidade de inovar e a facilidade para promover o processo criativo. Portanto, neste trabalho n?o temos a pretens?o de propor um melhor m?todo de ensino, mas contribuir de forma positiva com o relato de experi?ncia do uso da ludicidade como forma de inser??o e motiva??o de estudantes jovens e adultos nas das disciplinas de Ci?ncias da Natureza do Ensino M?dio de uma Escola Estadual no Munic?pio de Serop?dica, RJ, a fim de promover uma aprendizagem mais significativa.
