O software como ferramenta pedagógica no ensino de química

Abstract

This is a description of a qualitative study, developed in a state school localized in a Southwest of Paraná, specifically in a second year of a high school class. The work is concerned to show that the software useless on the chemical high school studies enriches the known (in Brazil) process “teach-to- learn”, a lot of times needed of practical classes, in this away, we can associate the inorganic chemical and organic chemical content, worked in classroom with the experiments made through this educational program, making the understanding of applied chemical phenomena easier. The using of Iridyum chemistry lab software with practical simulations (reacting acetic acid and bicarbonate of soda, taking the percentage of acetic acid in commercial vinegar by titrimetric), was developed in a school lab, while the class teacher was working stoichiometry. The students were invited to come to school on the extra-time. The outcomes taken, shows the efficiency of communication and information technologies for make the process “teach-to-learn” easier, how much to the learning, how much to the software operating.
