O ensino por meio da utilização de mídias digitais: uma sequência didática na disciplina de química

Abstract

Chemistry is present in all aspects of reality, in absolutely everything one can imagine. Every human being is made up of chemical compounds. On planet Earth, and even beyond, chemical elements are omnipresent. The technological advancements and comfort enjoyed today result from the improvement of materials, made possible by rearranging chemical elements to create new substances. This effort by industries across various fields has generated new methods of interaction between chemical elements. Therefore, the importance of teaching and learning chemistry for the comprehensive education of students is highlighted, promoting their social, cultural, and sustainable understanding of the community in which they are embedded. In this context, pedagogical methodologies aimed at optimizing learning processes, such as playful practices and the integration of technology in the classroom, provide forms of learning that are contextualized with the environment in which students live. Through playful activities, students assimilate and construct knowledge related to rules, customs, values, ethics, and society, and it is also an effective method of promoting social integration. Often, it is necessary to spark the interest of students to participate in playful activities, making it essential for the teacher to use strategies that engage them, employing creativity and knowledge to foster their motivation. Thus, it is emphasized that educational materials that encourage playful and creative activities are of fundamental importance for the development of students. This study aims to define, classify, and demonstrate some of these materials, presenting available technological resources that can be efficiently integrated into the teaching-learning process in the subject of chemistry
