Radioatividade: a elaboração de um produto como contribuição na construção de conhecimentos

Abstract

The development of this study led to the structuring of an educational product on the topic Radioactivity aimed at high school teachers, seeking to subsidize this theme, so that students can understand the theme, perform calculations of radioactive decay and half-life, and practical use of radioactivity in society using information technology to demystify and expand knowledge The objective of the study was to develop an educational product for high school teachers, aiming to subsidize the development of activities involving concepts of Radioactivity. Thus, a literature review was carried out on teaching strategies involving radioactivity content accessible to teachers and that arouse interest in high school students. An educational product was designed to facilitate the work of the chemistry teacher and make learning more interesting with different strategies. The educational product was sent along with a form containing 16 questions for peer review. 16 chemistry teachers participated in the research through digital means, who presented their impressions about the material. The results indicate that few practical activities are carried out, which can be attributed to a lack of materials that allow experimentation, in addition to the need to carry out studies that allow educators to relate the knowledge built with reality and its application in everyday life. The educators who participated in the peer review presented positive considerations about the material developed and consider it essential that there is an exchange of knowledge and new techniques to be shared by researchers with teachers, especially when it comes to content that requires a lot of clarity and involvement in research.
