Aplicação de sequência de ensino por investigação: uma proposta utilizando vídeos do aplicativo tik tok para ensinar processos de eletrização

Abstract

The use of digital technologies in education has become increasingly relevant, especially in a world where information circulates rapidly and social media plays a central role in content dissemination. TikTok, a popular app among young people, offers an innovative platform for education by allowing scientific concepts to be presented in a playful and accessible way. This research project aims to investigate how the use of TikTok videos can be integrated into the teaching of electrification processes, promoting active and critical learning among 9th-grade elementary school students. The main goal of the research was to develop and implement an investigative teaching sequence using TikTok videos to teach electrification concepts. The study not only facilitated content comprehension but also encouraged students' ability to discern scientific information from fake news, contributing to the formation of critical and informed citizens. The central question addressed by the project was: How can an investigative didactic sequence using TikTok videos impact students’ learning about electrification processes and their critical thinking regarding information consumed on social media? The research adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection methods included classroom observation, audio recordings during lessons, and the application of questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, allowing for a systematic interpretation of classroom interactions and students' responses. This study proved to be relevant both academically and in educational practice, as it sought to integrate new technologies into science teaching, promoting a more contextualized and meaningful education. It also highlighted the importance of developing critical thinking skills in students, which are essential in an information-saturated world. Contributions included the creation of a teaching model that effectively utilizes digital platforms, promotes more engaged learning, and equips students to discern scientific information—positively impacting their academic and civic development.
