Estratégias pedagógicas para o ensino de soluções químicas : desenvolvimento de uma sequência didática

Abstract

Teaching chemistry, especially regarding the study of chemical solutions, presents a constant challenge due to the abstract nature of the concepts and the difficulty in relating them to students' daily lives. Based on this understanding, this research sought to achieve, through the general objective of presenting a pedagogical strategy to mediate and facilitate the teaching and learning process of Chemical Solutions. The specific objectives highlighted were: To contribute to the articulation of pedagogical strategies in the teaching and learning process of chemistry content; to propose the use of Didactic Sequences and playful games as resources that favor student participation in the learning of chemical solutions; and to analyze the relevance of Didactic Sequences as mediating agents in the teaching and learning process of Chemical Solutions content. The methodology adopted was qualitative, bibliographical, and educational product development (SD). Initially, a literature review on chemistry teaching, active methodologies, and the use of games as pedagogical tools was conducted. Next, a proposed teaching sequence was developed, encompassing theoretical introductions, consolidation activities, and practical application through games. These games were designed using readily available materials, ensuring their viability in different school contexts. Literature review indicates that the proposal is feasible and applicable in the classroom, constituting a pedagogical strategy capable of promoting greater student engagement and participation. Furthermore, the games demonstrated potential for facilitating the understanding of chemical solution concepts, reducing student resistance to the subject and promoting more meaningful learning. The conclusion is that the work contributes to academic, social, and educational advancement by offering accessible and innovative alternatives to the chemistry teaching-learning process.
