Material didático multimídia: potencializando o ensino de química para o curso de agronomia

Abstract

Access to federal public universities is as important as the permanence of students in these institutions, since it is through the production of knowledge that the professionals that will act in the competitive market of the most diverse areas are formed. In order to accommodate the students who come to the university with a very differentiated baggage of knowledge, it is necessary that the concepts be worked in a contextualized way, so that the student perceives that the contents approached in the classroom are related to their experiences, As well as the activities inherent in its course. Within the line of research on the development of educational technologies in network, from PPGTER-UFSM, we will work with the production of didactic material for the discipline QMC 1032 Química Agronomia, which is of great relevance, since it requires the choice of contents and requires a movement of transposition of the wise (scientific) knowledge into the knowledge taught. It is also worth noting that teaching material enhances learning when the information contained in it is relevant and relates to other ideas, concepts that anchor new concepts. In this perspective, this project aims to fill the gap between the disciplines of the basic training cycle, specifically the chemistry, and the professional disciplines. The proposed research has a qualitative character and is configured as an action research, in which the subjects of the research will be the students of the first semester of the course of Agronomy of UFSM, the professors involved in the discipline and the researcher who writes here. The research will be developed in six stages, involving an exploratory study of the didactic material currently used, analysis of the teachers' conceptions regarding the didactic material used, as well as their contextualization in said discipline, research and planning of experimental activities, analysis of learning difficulties , The replanning of activities and finally the final product that will be produced and made available in the network, the contextualized didactic material that deals with experimental theory and practices, with the purpose of facilitating learning and arousing students' interest in learning. The teaching of chemistry was delimited for the course of Agronomy as an area of study of this work. This choice was based on the experience of the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry and the perceptions of teachers in this area, due to the difficulties presented by the students in the learning process.
