AVALIAÇÃO DE AÇÕES PEDAGÓGICAS NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

Abstract

This text presents discussions and reflections on school activities that go beyond the traditional context of teaching. In addition, we carried out the evaluation of a pedagogical proposal, of an interdisciplinary nature, for Teaching Chemistry (and areas related to Natural Sciences) based on the construction and launching of rocket models elaborated with PET bottles. First we locate this research in the area of Science Education, with a brief review of the literature on practical activities in the teaching of Chemistry. Next, we highlight proposals for interventions that appropriate the use of rockets in educational institutions. Then, we present the methodology adopted for this research, and finally, the results achieved and some considerations. Our analyzes showed that the use of rockets in the teaching of Chemistry has the potential to promote a contextual education, of a practical and interdisciplinary nature, favoring the protagonism of the students in the teaching of Chemistry.
