Ensino e aprendizagem de ligações químicas: integrando experimentação e tecnologias digitais

Abstract

In teaching chemical bonds, the use of recreational activities and the development of an investigative profile are desirable when seeking to provide training that goes beyond the fixation of content and encourages protagonism in the learning process. Based on this premise, with the aim of promoting student engagement in the process of knowledge construction, we combined pedagogical activities that integrate digital technologies and experimental activity through the development and implementation of a didactic sequence lasting four classes. The participants were first-year high school students from a public school in Curitiba, Paraná state. In this article, we present the results of this experience. Of the proposed approaches, virtual experimentation was the most well-accepted by the students, although its potential was limited by the lack of adequate technological infrastructure at the school.
