ESTUDO E AVALIAÇÃO DAS PRÁTICAS EXPERIMENTAIS NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA

Abstract

In 2020, a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus hit the world population, causing the death of thousands of people worldwide. In view of the lack of knowledge and the lack of medication that would fight the disease, strict health measures such as quarantine and social distancing were taken by the governments of the countries, following recommendations from the World Health Organization. The impact of these measures affected several sectors, including the Education, forcing educational institutions around the world to close their doors and seek alternative ways of teaching. The main one was remote teaching, a way of reproducing the classroom in the student's own home through digital information technologies. Evidently, there were many challenges faced by the entire school community to adapt to this new teaching format. However, it was possible to notice that some subjects found creative solutions to adapt to remote teaching. Among them, chemistry, which returned to what is typical of this discipline, experimental practice. From this pandemic scenario, this work aims to analyze the importance of experimental practice in the teaching-learning process of chemistry during remote teaching because of the covid-19 pandemic, through the adaptation of new methods to conduct experimentation.
