| Summary: | This paper presents a Chemistry Team Game Tournament (TGT) as a didactic strategy to review stereochemistry concepts. For this purpose, a multilingual (English, Italian, French, and Portuguese) educational game, Stereochemistry Race, was developed on the online digital platform PlayingCards. The study involved the participation of 85 students from the following institutions: sixteen first-year Pharmacy students at the Federal University of Ceará (Brazil); twelve senior high school students at Colégio Maximus, in Fortaleza (Brazil); sixteen first-year Natural Sciences students and forty-one first-year Biotechnology students at the Università degli Studi di Genova (Italy). After the implementation of the tournament, the students evaluated the game, the match strategy, and their social and emotional interactions with their peers. To this end, data collection was carried out using a form that also included the UES-SF (User Engagement Scale-Short Form) engagement assessment model, which showed greater student participation and interest in stereochemistry studies than to traditional review classes. |
