FRANCO-MARISCAL, Antonio Joaquín; OLIVA-MARTINEZ, José María  and  BERNAL-MARQUEZ, Serafín. A literature review on the role of educational games in the study of the chemical elements: Second part: the games in the service of understanding and use of the periodic table. Educ. quím [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.4, pp.474-481. ISSN 0187-893X.

This is the second part of a broader investigation dedicated to review the background in the literature about the role of educational games in teaching and learning in the topic of chemical elements and periodic classification. The first part analyzed those proposals aimed to the familiarization of the students with the Periodic Table, through the memorization of the names and their corresponding symbols ("the games in the service of the knowledge of the Periodic Table"). In its second part, we review studies that emphasize on helping students to conceptualize, understand and apply even some aspects in depth related to this subject ("the games in the service of understanding of the Periodic Table").

Keywords : juego educativo; elementos químicos; clasificación periódica; eview of literature; educational game; chemical elements, Periodic.
