Metodologias ativas aplicadas ao ensino de química na educação de jovens e adultos.

Abstract

The use of active methodologies in teaching chemistry in the EJA (Youth and Adult Education) allows students greater flexibility, enthusiasm and interaction between the contents covered in the classroom. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance that the teacher of chemistry is able to develop strategies that attract the attention of the student of this modality of education, trying to make it assimilate and relate the chemistry to the daily life. In this perspective, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of the use of active methodologies in the high school chemistry classes of the EJA modality. For this purpose, a didactic sequence was elaborated through the adoption of diversified methodologies for the hydrocarbon education, being applied with EJA students of the State School of Elementary and High School Francisco de Sá Cavalcante, being submitted to questionnaires to evaluate the level of acceptance of the resources used. Through the obtained results it was possible to perceive a significant improvement in the students' perceptions regarding the teaching of chemistry through the use of active methodologies, as they allowed the student to identify the chemistry in the daily life and the importance of studying it. Therefore, it is important to diversify the classes of this curricular component, focusing on the citizens' education of the students through a critical approach to the role of this discipline in today's society.
