A abordagem dos modelos atômicos em turmas de Ensino Médio do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí – IFPI

Abstract

The teaching of chemistry, as an essential component in the process of formation and permanent education, with a problem-oriented approach, contributes to the active involvement of the public, makes the education system more relevant and more realistic and establishes a greater interdependence between these systems and the natural and social environment, aiming at a growing well-being of human communities. The objective of this study is to study the process of approaching the atomic models within the Chemistry classes in High School. Its main objective is to analyze, from the perspective of the students, the practices related to Chemistry teaching, the main difficulties, the pedagogical procedures used and their importance in High School. The present study was based on a field research, aiming to offer more contact with the target public and approach with the phenomenon studied, in this case the approach of atomic models within the teaching of Chemistry in High School, but is also a result of a bibliographical research and in relation to its nature, will be developed a qualitative research. The research was carried out in IFPI located in the Pantanal neighborhood in the city of Picos-PI. This study shows that the study of atomic models is an opportunity to explore a new teaching of chemistry, this more critical, innovative and creative, since it becomes with these contents a more interesting way to approach the conceptual contents that until then are doomed to the discouragement of students. And in this sense, it is perceived that there is a consensus among several authors about the importance of including with more expressiveness the contents about the atomic models, their approaches
