A IMPORTÂNCIA DA EXPERIMENTAÇÃO COMO UMA ESTRATÉGIA METODOLÓGICA PARA O ENSINO DE QUÍMICA NO NÍVEL MÉDIO

Abstract

This experience report presents a moment experienced during the supervised curricular internship in the classroom, carried out at Escola Estadual Oscar Ribeiro da Cunha, prepared by students of the Chemistry Teaching Degree from the Instituto Federal Goiano in Rio Verde. We observed the difficulties faced by the teacher in delivering Chemistry content to high school students due to the lack of teaching laboratories at the school. It is important to emphasize the significance of exposing students to the use of laboratories in experimental classes as a didactic resource in the learning process of Chemistry lessons. Following the discussion on the topic of personal protective equipment, videos were shown on how to use reagents and the dangers of accidents in the laboratory. At the end, the students also answered a questionnaire evaluating the proposal. In this study, the laboratory proved to be a tool that promotes student engagement in the teaching and learning process of Chemistry.
