Água como tema gerador no ensino de química: uma revisão em periódicos nacionais

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to conduct bibliographical research, of the “State of Knowledge” type, on the theme of “Water” in Chemistry Teaching, based on the analysis of the journals Química Nova na Escola (QNEsc) and Revista Debates em Ensino de Química (REDEQUIM). In the study, a total of 11 publications were found in the last 15 years. As a methodology for data analysis, Bardin's analysis (2011) was employed, where the following information was categorized: basic authors, content covered, target audience, study objectives, and teaching methodology. Another analysis observed was about the different methodological approaches to teaching, such as active methodologies such as CTS/CTSA; experimentation, games and gamification; didactic sequence. A similarity was also noted between some works regarding the basic authors. Therefore, it is understood that the proposed study was able to investigate scientific productions focused on the theme “Water”, which, despite considering a small number of works, are relevant and also point to the reality of new studies in the area of teaching with this respective theme.
