Integrando metodologia ativa e documentários como fonte de divulgação cientifica: uma mediação na disciplina de química para promover uma aprendizagem mais significativa

Abstract

Teachers with a background in Chemistry have been adopting new approaches in classes to change the students' perception of the discipline, due to the fact that they consider it difficult due to the abstraction of the terms involved in its study. In this context, the present work aims to integrate active methodology in the process of scientific dissemination, with a special focus on the use of documentaries as a didactic tool to promote better learning and dissemination of knowledge. It can be seen that the function between active methodology and documentaries not only enriches the learning process, but also enhances the dissemination of scientific knowledge, making it more engaging and accessible to a diverse audience. Therefore, the work is an action research, since the study was carried out in a 3rd year class of the integrated technical course in informatics of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte - Campus Pau dos Ferros, during the Supervised Teaching Internship IV. The proposal was carried out with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach for the production of documentaries as a source of scientific dissemination, in which it involved the problem of "soil acidity in the cultivation of crops" in the content of Inorganic Functions. From the Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) proposed by Moraes and Galiazzi, based on the results of this research, it was found that students were able to learn the content by establishing connections with everyday life, adopting an active posture in their own learning process through the investigation of the impasse, proposing a more meaningful learning. In addition, with the production of documentaries for the dissemination of science, students were able to delve deeper into the subject, enabling them to convey the theme through a simple language, but with a great scientific character for the general public.
