Abstract
he research aimed to promote awareness and understanding actions to high school students of a State School in the Municipality of Nazaré da Mata - PE about the importance of vaccines in the prevention of diseases, through the combination of a didactic lecture and a playful activity, with the main purpose of consolidating the knowledge acquired and encouraging health practices based on scientific evidence. For the methodological procedure, the action research was divided into five stages and these stages were arranged in 3 different moments. The overall percentage of correct answers in the playful activity was 66%. From the analysis of the results obtained before and after the lecture, it was found that time and competition are antagonists in the students' performance, even if the later results, in general, were significant. The methodology used allowed that, despite the challenges proposed by the quiz, the students interacted positively with the approach. This contributed significantly to the understanding of the contents covered and was effective in building the relationship between teaching and learning.
