Avaliação da aprendizagem do conteúdo de funções orgânicas por meio de uma sequência didática como estratégia de ensino

Abstract

Within Chemistry Organic Chemistry is of great importance to human beings as carbon compounds are important constituents of the human organism. Even though they are intrinsically related to life, Organic Chemistry is rarely explored in high school and most of the teachers have many difficulties to contextualize the contents of this discipline in their classes. This research monograph presents and discusses the use of a Didactic Sequence as a teaching strategy for the content of functional groups in organic chemistry. The research was carried out with a qualitative approach and the Didactic Sequence was applied in a class of five undergraduate chemistry students of the Chemistry II Class at Federal University of Pampa - Campus Bagé. The work aims to investigate if a Didactic Sequence can promote a better understanding of chemical concepts. The application of the Didactic Sequence was divided into three parts: introductory class on Organic Chemistry, presentation of the content, and final questionnaire. From the analysis of the results, it was observed that the use of SD as a differentiated teaching methodology proved to be effective in the process of construction/reconstruction of students' knowledge.
