Percepções sobre a utilização de vídeos de atividades experimentais no ensino remoto de química para o ensino médio.

Abstract

This project deals with research carried out during the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021, in which it presents the use of videos of experimental activities as a tool to support theoretical chemistry classes during Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). Students from the General Chemistry Topics class of the Integrated Electronics Technician Course at the Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul) Campus Pelotas, located in the city of Pelotas, RS, participated in the study, totaling 17 students. Considering that in 2020, IFSul, as well as other schools in the public and private network, had their in-person classes replaced at the ERE, due to the emergence of the coronavirus infection (Sars-Cov-2), popularly calling it COVID -19, it was necessary for educators and students to adapt and, therefore, teaching methodologies had to be rethought. Therefore, experimentation through videos was presented as a viable alternative, since it brings theoretical content closer to practice. Thus, this dissertation aims to verify the students' perceptions about the potential of using videos containing experimental activities during classes in the ERE modality, as a form of teaching methodology. As a methodology for data analysis, content analysis was used, through a didactic intervention that included the use of the logbook, as well as questionnaires. Finally, experimental activities are a methodology that has long been talked about in the literature as being of paramount importance in the discipline of chemistry, but its use through videos in the ERE has been shown to be a means of bringing the contents seen together with practice and also with the daily life of the students. The educator allowed her to adopt an alternative to her teaching practice throughout the ERE, thus using technology in her favor.
