Efeito do esvaziamento do açude Boqueirão do Cais na cidade de Cuité - PB: avaliação de uma proposta didática para o ensino de química no contexto da educação básica.

Abstract

For many years researchers in the field of science education have been concerned with how to contextualize the teaching of chemistry in order to arouse the interest of the students and give more meaning to the concepts seen in the classroom. We have tried to work the concepts in articulation with the reality of the students by expanding the existing boundaries between the classroom and their daily life. In addition, the use of real problem situations contributes to the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process. Thus, through this perspective the elaboration of this research was directed to the attempt to know and understand the influences of environmental education in high school classes, using the problem of emptying the reservoir of the Boqueirao do Cais and the chemical knowledge as facilitators in the cognitive development of Students. The project was aimed at the students of the second and third year high school classes of a public school in the city of Cuite-PB and developed through the use of a didactic sequence that included lectures, group research. Posters, experimental classes and discussions about the activities carried out. All these activities were presented to the students working and relating the chemical concepts to water, drought and drought topics through the observation of the effect of the drainage of the Boqueirao do Cais Dam. It is an action research of a qualitative nature, where questionnaires were applied throughout the development of the research and it was verified, through these and the observations made, that the work reached the expected objectives and contributed to the development of the students, a There was a direct response in the students' interest in the teaching proposal presented to them. The activities used promoted the interest and awakened the scientific curiosity of the students, which made the teaching-learning process more attractive, raising students' interest in chemistry.
