METODOLOGIAS PARA O ENSINO DE QUÍMICA: ALTERNATIVAS PARA UM ENSINO MAIS ATRATIVO

Abstract

The subject of chemistry is feared by most students, classified as meaningless and difficult to learn, due to the difficulties existing in the teaching process. This is due to the traditional way of applying content in schools, in a decontextualized and non-interdisciplinary way, generating in students a great lack of interest in the subject, as well as difficulties in learning and relating the content studied to everyday life. To try to solve this problem, it is necessary that teachers are open to changes, and that they seek knowledge about the different types of methodologies to make this discipline more attractive and ensure better learning for students. The present work intends to discuss the reality of pedagogical practices in the educational context of teaching chemistry, enabling a reflection on teaching practice, in the midst of a case study on the main methodologies: contextualization, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and experimentation. Bringing, through works already published in the academic society, reports of lived experiences, about teaching chemistry in a different and attractive way. The present study was divided into stages where it was discussed: The difficulty of learning chemistry; Role of the teacher and education in the formation of citizens; Chemistry in everyday life and its teaching through methodologies. Given the above, it was possible to verify that the methodologies can provide a more attractive and dynamic chemistry teaching, where students effectively participate in classes, thus ensuring a better teaching-learning process.
