Aprendizagem significativa no ensino de química com ênfase em atividades lúdicas e experimentais

Abstract

The purpose of this research was adapt a Potentially Significant Teaching Unit crated by Moreira and apply it in a Chemistry class, permeated by playful and experimental activities. The general objectiveof the research was to evaluate the development of a Potentially Significant Teaching Unit on the organic function of alcohol in Chemistry class, with na emphasis on playful and experimental activities, in order to unsderstand its possible contributions to the meaningful learning of high school students. The research was carried out February and March 2023, in a state school in the participation of third-year high school students. The relevance oh this work was to use experimental activity and ludic activity throughgames in the development of classes, in addition to using conceptual maps and self-assessment in order to seek evidence of meaningful learning. The data analyzed were the transcripts, made through the recordings of the meetings, the mental and conceptual maps and the self-assessment. The results were separated into categories and analyzed through discursive textual analysis. The metatext containing the final considerations points to the construction of knowledge through awakening the students’ interest. The maps were also essential in visualizing the assimilation of concepts, as well as self-assessment, which was used as a parameter in this construction, and was conducted in sunch a way that students identified their learning and difficulties in each meeting held. Finally, the research aroused interest in applying UEPS in other Chemistry contents, with the aim of helping students in the knowledge construction process.[resumo fornecido pelo autor]
