Lixo eletrõnico contextualizado com o ensino de química: um meio gerador de práticas de cidadania aplicada a estudantes do ensino médio.

Abstract

This article aimed to understand the importance of including the topic of electronic waste in chemistry classes, being essential to consolidate a broader understanding of students regarding the composition and toxicity of this waste, correlating it with the elements of the periodic table. In the research, specific technical procedures were adopted, such as bibliographical research, field research and also participant research, where there was interaction with the constituent members of the research, through a theoretical class and a didactic game, for data analysis. two questionnaires were used, one prior and one final. The results of the previous questionnaire demonstrated a gap in relation to knowledge on the topic, but with the expository class and the didactic game a greater understanding of the students was noticed, as the act of relating the elements of the periodic table and the components of electronics enriched the Learn. The hypothesis was confirmed that contextualizing chemistry teaching with electronic waste is a positive strategy that encourages understanding of the importance of responsible disposal. In the future, it would be interesting to further expand the integration of the topic of electronic waste at different educational levels and sociocultural contexts, in addition to promoting greater awareness about the sustainable disposal of electronic waste.
