Observação das aulas experimentais nos Cursos de Licenciatura em Química do Centro de Educação e Saúde da UFCG no período de aulas remotas.

Abstract

With the spread of Covid-19, which resulted in social isolation aimed at alleviating cases, there was a need to paralyze classroom teaching classes, which were replaced by methodologies aimed at remote teaching. Making it a challenge for the experimental subjects, which are developed in the laboratory, starting to be carried out online following the new teaching method and with that came the challenges around the understanding and learning of the students, as well as the difficulty of the teachers. In this context, the research aims to observe and try to diagnose the conceptions of teachers and students of the Degree in Chemistry regarding the practical experimental classes offered in times of pandemic through remote teaching. For this purpose, a research was carried out based on a qualitative and exploratory approach using two questionnaires developed through the Google form. A questionnaire aimed at 150 students, in which 22 students participated, and the other aimed at 05 teachers, with 03 participants. According to the results presented, it was observed that despite the teachers reporting satisfaction with the teaching, the experimental subjects applied through remote teaching were not satisfactory for the students, given that several difficulties were pointed out that they faced during the period of remote teaching. Thus, it is recommended for new studies that there is a reflection based on what has been presented, since technology is increasingly present in the lives of students, so that teachers can seek to improve their methodological knowledge, aiming not to completely dismiss remote teaching, as well as an improvement of its methodologies in order to use means that bring the face-to-face experience closer to the virtual one, so that it becomes an activity developed by the student himself and offers significant learning.
