Elaboração de jogo didático visando à sensibilização sobre a tuberculose para alunos do ensino médio

Abstract

Tuberculosis, an infectious disease, is caused by a bacillus, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The infection in the lung can be latent and can be developed later. It is a disease that affects humans and still in the 21st century people die from the disease, making it necessary to discuss how to communicate about the disease. The school is a privileged space for raising awareness about education and health, where citizens can become information multipliers. In this context, we have as a general objective, in this dissertation investigate the possibilities of discussion on the topic of tuberculosis using a didactic game as a ludic resource. Data were collected using questionnaires wish were analyzed to constitute the stages of game elaboration. The results have showed that among the mentioned difficulties are the little emphasis given by textbooks, the lack of enough time and recognition of the disease in daily life by some students and few resources available. Expected so we hope to contribute to the discussion on the topic of tuberculosis in high school in order to raise awareness teachers and students, becoming information multipliers.
