Tecidos têxteis: uma temática para o ensino e aprendizagem de Química

Abstract

In this study, we used the theme "Textile Fabrics" to contextualize chemical contents, in order to favor the teaching and learning process of Organic Chemistry contents for students of last year of a public school in the city of Santa Maria, RS. In this sense, we seek theoretical references of the theme "Textile Fabrics" to establish the relations with the corresponding chemical contents of the target-public. From this, we developed a proposal to approach these contents in the classroom, which was evaluated through interventions, applied in five stages. The methodology of the Three Pedagogical Moments associated to different teaching strategies such as experimental activities and case studies was used to establish the relationships between the contents of chemistry and the students' daily life from the perspective of the theme. The results of this research were obtained through different data collection instruments such as questionnaires, textual productions, research and presentation of papers, reports, observations and notes made by the researcher during the interventions, which were analyzed according to the Textual Discursive Analysis. Regarding the results, we observe an evolution in the construction of the knowledge and several abilities of high school students, which were verified through Analytical tools. Hence, it can be concluded that the theme "Textile Fabrics", associated to the use of different teaching methodologies, approximated Chemistry to student’ reality favoring the teaching and learning process of Organic Chemistry contents.
