O papel da experimentação no ensino de química: Um estudo de caso no caso no 2° ano no ensino médio da escola Lucinete Santana da Silva.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impacts of the lack of experimentation on the learning process of 2nd-year high school students at Escola Lucinete Santana da Silva, located in Paulistana-PI. It is based on theoretical approaches regarding the relevance of experimentation as an essential tool in chemistry education, promoting skills such as critical thinking and practical understanding of concepts. Methodologically, the research adopts a quantitative and qualitative approach, involving the application of questionnaires to analyze students' perceptions and knowledge. The results include identifying factors that hinder experimental practice, such as lack of infrastructure and teacher preparation, as well as proposals to effectively integrate experiments into the school environment. It is concluded that implementing experimental activities significantly contributes to student engagement and cognitive development, highlighting the need for structural and methodological changes in chemistry education.
