Atividades experimentais no processo de ensino aprendizagem em química

Abstract

Chemistry is related to the basic needs of human beings, from food, health and metabolism, to the changes in the environment in which we live. It is an interdisciplinary subject, which must be understood by everyone. The teaching of chemistry should awake in students the ability to understand and the interest in investigating the chemical phenomena present in their daily lives. In this sense, it is necessary to reformulate the pedagogical practice in such a way that the student's attention turns to science, arousing his curiosity. Thus, in Chemistry Teaching, in addition to expository classes, they should encourage discussions about science, and one of the possible ways to attribute dynamism to classes is through the use of experimental practices. Thus, this work aims to survey and discuss Experimentation as a pedagogical practice, its importance in teaching and learning Chemistry, as well as the main difficulties in implementing it as a teaching methodology, in addition to presenting examples of experimental practices that can be applied in the classroom as instruments that facilitate learning and development of the main skills of the curriculum. The methodology used was based on reading and researching bibliographic material, based on analysis of books, scientific articles, monographs and dissertations. The survey shows that these methodologies, when contextualized with the student's reality, stimulate curiosity and encourage the search for knowledge, favoring independent development and appropriate learning.
