ABSTRACT

Introduction: Previous knowledge organizers are powerful didactic tools that allow maximizing the meaningful learning process. Objective: To report on the application of quizzes and games called “Brain Quiz and Games”. Method: In the Medical School of the Mato Grosso do Sul State University (UESM), Brazil, during the Perception, Awareness and Emotion module, students performed two quizzes and two games during answering questions both individually and in groups. Descriptive analysis of the results was performed. The results showed that the dynamics stimulated the use of agile and correct reasoning, so necessary for a good medical practice. Students describe reports of motivation in the activities, which reflected in the good student performance in the final grades of the module. The activity of “Brain Quiz and Games” stimulated the advance study of the module content and the creation of subsumers in the cognitive structure of the students. Innovative activities, such as this, should be fostered, as they help students acquire knowledge.
