Aromas: contextualizando o ensino de química através do olfato e paladar

Abstract

The focus of this work is the teaching of chemistry through the theme "Aromas". To this end, we seek to develop this research teaching methodologies related to the theme and that promote learning of the contents of Chemistry, contributing thus in the formation of more critical and active citizens in their daily lives. Interventions of this project were conducted with students from classes 3rd grade from a state college in the city of São Sepé - RS - Brazil. The data from this study were collected through questionnaires, exercises, preparation of reports and notes made by the teacher researcher, during the intervention, and analyzed according to discursive textual analysis. Closed interventions, observation and notes from the search elements were extracted for the construction of a teaching guide for the teaching and learning of physiological functions in high school. Thus, by the results obtained in this study, we conclude that the teaching of chemistry was favored with the theme "aromas" as well as by the use of thematic workshop methodology and problem solving. Students found through these two methodologies, more affordable and practical ways to understand and relate the contents of the Chemical phenomena that happen in their daily lives.
