Abordagens ativas no ensino de quimica: Elaboração de cenários problemas para o ensino sobre gases em expedições em atitudes elevadas e em ambientes subaquáticos

Abstract

Due to the challenges in learning chemistry, alternative educational approaches have gained significant relevance. In this context, STEM disciplines-often associated with complex calculations and abstract formulas-frequently alienate students, being stigmatized as difficult, tedious, and impossible to master. This scenario leads to a loss of interest and motivation among learners. However, chemistry education can be reinvented. Innovative techniques must be integrated into the school routine to reverse this negative perception. Consequently, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) emerges as an effective methodology, widely utilized to enhance the teaching-learning process. This approach offers a new pathway for knowledge construction, stimulating imagination and critical thinking through the resolution of real or fictional problem scenarios.
