Integrando música e química: uma proposta de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

The music is currently present in the school environment, mainly through the use of mobile devices (Smartphone, mobile phone, MP3, MP4) by students. This master thesis was developed because we believe that music can be used in educational activities for the teaching learning process in chemistry. It is hoped that this study will contribute to building a significant Chemistry teaching process. Therefore, the first step was to seek to know more deeply the contributions of music for teaching through a study of the interrelationship Chemistry and Music. Recent publications of the two areas were the basis of research on music cognition. The research articles in national and international journals on the areas of Chemistry and Music Education also composed the foundations of the study. Lectures relating the themes education learning, music, affection, technologies and musical cognition were assisted and consisted of guidance in seeking to increase their knowledge of music cognition and make the didactic transposition of this knowledge for the teaching and learning in chemistry. So that the voice of teachers and students were part of this study, questionnaires were administered to students and teachers of public schools in the state of Paraná in order to verify how they perceive technologies, especially mobile device, at school and how teachers and students perceive music in teaching Chemistry. These investigations, it was revealed that music can be a strategy for teaching and learning in chemistry because motivates the student to engage in the process of knowledge construction, with many possibilities of use as a teaching strategy. These possibilities include building parodies and original songs - favoring the significant learning, analysis of letters of national and international music - enabling interdisciplinary, playing games and music games - that favor the affection between students and teachers and between students. For the outcome of this work could be used effectively by teachers, facilitating the development of their classes, teaching activities were produced publicized through a web site that can be accessed by computers, tablets and smartphones, for teachers and students can employ these teaching tools using the songs in teaching and learning in chemistry.
