Description
| We created a role-playing game (RPG) about Cerrado, the Brazilian savanna, in order to translate scientific knowledge to the general public and to contribute to environmental education in schools. With this game, we aimed to disseminate knowledge about Cerrado native plant and animal species and the biome phytophysiognomies. The RPG quest involves seed dispersal by animals, thus showing the interdependence between flora and fauna. Moreover, by presenting as fictional characters the big mammals of Cerrado, we expect that the participants experience the threats faced by these animals due to anthropogenic actions. The use of the RPG is an active methodology that mobilizes competences and skills from National Common Curricular Basis (BNCC). In a case study, we report the use of the game in high school classes at a Full-Time State School (CEPI) in the state of Goiás, Brazil, which is a public school in the Cerrado region. The students actively participated in the game, including students with special needs and students that usually do not participate in classes that use traditional teaching methods. Students affirmed that they liked to play, made positive comments about the game, and were interested in learning more about Cerrado species. We conclude that the Cerrado RPG can be used as an efficient teaching tool.
