Abstract

Educational games are an example of active teaching strategies. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an educational game on the learning on osmosis of first-semester students in a dentistry course. We will compare the grades and the errors, in questions of assessments on this theme, of years before the use of the educational game and after its introduction as teaching methodology. Also, the students will be invited to answer questions to evaluate their perception about the educational game and will be evaluated if there is correlation between their perception and their performance in assessments.
