O uso de materiais alternativos em atividades experimentais no ensino de química: uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os impactos no processo de aprendizagem.

Abstract

Over the years, all areas have evolved, bringing with them a series of challenges. In education, this reality is no different. One of the factors that hinder the teaching and learning process is the persistence of the traditional method, which is based on the simple transmission of content and the memorization of concepts and formulas. In this context, it is essential that educators seek alternative methodologies that can facilitate the teaching process. Therefore, this work aims to analyze how experimental activities help to improve the learning process using alternative materials. The methodology used was based on a qualitative literature review, in which data collection was carried out through the Google Scholar platform, selecting articles published between 2019 and 2023. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to conclude that the use of alternative materials in experimental activities makes the classes more attractive, facilitating the understanding of the contents and contributing to the teaching-learning process, evidencing the importance of this approach in the school environment. Thus, it is notorious that the use of experimentation with alternative materials allows overcoming the challenges found in traditional teaching. In addition, when these activities are related to everyday life, they provide a clearer understanding of the contents by students and motivate them to see the chemistry discipline and its aspects clearly related to their daily lives.
