Literatura de cordel, teatro e ensino de química: as possibilidades de interação entre arte e ciência.

Abstract

This work aims to minimize the shortage of teachers of science area (physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology) making their works attractive and enjoyable, as well as, doing each one acts in his/her specific area. With professionals outside of their fields we can observe that is growing the lack of students' interest and the depreciation of the teachers' work making the development of activities in the classroom monotonous and unpleasant. In this view, what we have as reflex is the assertion by students that these subjects are unnecessary at school, causing damage in the process of teaching and learning. In order to reverse this situation, there are different ways to become the chemistry teaching more interesting and useful. In this way, we chose to playful resources using the Armorial Movement more specific, such as string literature and theatre. Our proposal aims to show that these tools have an articulated and motivated function to provide more interest for the students, beyond to show scientific and historical knowledge. The research was done in October of this year and the participants were the students of the 2nd and 3rd grades of high school of the Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Medio Jose Rolderik de Oliveira, located in Nova Floresta city, in Paraiba. The data were collected from a questionnaire with subjective questions. At the first moment, we applied 68 (sixty eight) questionnaires for the students. Then we read a string and, after that, we applied another questionnaire. Finally, we present a short play. The results revealed that the tools used are attractive and interesting, considering that students were engaged in the proposed activities, rescuing the willingness to learn the subject in focus.
