Abstract

Technologies are increasingly present in our daily lives. However, some students find it difficult to learn computer science content, as is the case with “Entity-Relationship”, in the subject of “Programming with Database Access”. Faced with this challenge, this research aims to develop a didactic resource, based on serious games, using unplugged computing, to help teach the content of “entity-relationship” in a playful way. The game was applied to the 3rd year of secondary school on the Computer Technician course, with each group being given a score and a winner being determined at the end. The practice showed that this teaching methodology helps in the teaching-learning process.
