Cana-de-açúcar no estado da Paraíba: contextualização, interdisciplinaridade e experimentação no ensino de química

Abstract

The teaching of chemistry can’t be summarized only the transmission of knowledge that does not encompass the daily life of learners, being fundamental to use means that enable better learning of students to act in society. We live in a complex world that in order to better understands it, it is often necessary to use more than one area of knowledge, using methodologies that can provoke reflections on the content in question, contributing to the process of teaching learning. Due to the assumption, the present work was structured in the pedagogical moments that are a didactic sequence that aims at the improvement of teaching, they are divided as follows: initial problematization, organization of knowledge and application of knowledge. To work on the theme aiming at a better understanding of the contents, interdisciplinarity, contextualization and experimentation were used. With the use of this, contents of two areas of knowledge were given to better explain the concepts in question, contextualization was used directly when mentioning sugarcane, its derivatives and its important contribution in the society's economy, in the course of the distillation of the fermented sugarcane juice through an alternative distiller. This work was developed in a public school in the city of Cuitegi-PB in order to facilitate the understanding of abstract concepts by means of methods other than the usual one. There was the application of a previous questionnaire applied in the initial problematization and another in the application of the knowledge. With the analysis of the questionnaires, it is noticed that the difficulties of students in understanding some phenomena of daily life can be overcome through the use of more than one area of knowledge. The insertions of classes that seek to involve the daily life of learners stimulate the process of teaching-learning.
