Educação em direitos humanos: Componente curricular do ensino de química

Abstract

The teaching of chemistry plays an important role in people's lives, as it provides human beings with knowledge to ensure human needs, environmental issues and develop the student's ability to participate critically and dialogue in the face of society's issues. This work aimed to analyze the extent to which Education on Human Rights, in Chemistry Teaching, can contribute to citizenship education in basic education, understand the educational space created in terms of its limitations and successes for citizenship education, carry out a Circle of Talk and characterize the educational environment. The study of the curricular component of Chemistry should enable the student to develop a critical view of the world around him, to understand and use this knowledge in everyday life, which helps in the quality of life in the present and future. The research had a qualitative character, as it considered the relationships between the subject and his social environment. The nature was exploratory, with a bibliographic survey, seeking to develop a conversation wheel with students from the 2nd and 3rd year of high school. However, such a circle was not possible due to the planning time for activities at the end of the school term. We emphasize that the most important thing in planning the Chemistry Discipline, for a teaching situation, should be to carry out an effective teaching/learning action. It was concluded that when our rights and curricular disciplines work together, they can generate a wide range of possibilities for new discoveries and practices, throughout personal and professional life
