Impacto das emoções no processo de aprendizagem de Química: um olhar sobre a educação emocional de estudantes do Ensino Médio

Abstract

This work analyzed the possible impacts that emotions can have on the learning process, focusing on chemistry learning, based on a look at the emotional education of high school students. To this end, we take as central categories to guide the research, integral education, understood as that which considers the multiple dimensions of the human being; the origin of emotions, based on the function of neurotransmitters; affectivity and cognition and their impact on the learning process; and emotional education, as a need not only for contemporary society but also for educational processes. As a field of investigation, we adopted a State Public High School Reference School, having as subjects, students in the 3rd year of high school. From a methodological point of view, we prioritized the qualitative approach, using, as a data collection instrument, the application of an online questionnaire, via the Google Forms platform. As an interpretative framework for discursive questions, we opted for Discourse Analysis, with a view to understanding, from discourse, students' perception of the impacts of emotions on the learning process, as well as the role of the school in overcoming students' emotional difficulties. . The results of the work allow us to infer that students recognize and are aware of their emotions and how they affect their lives and learning in the school environment, especially in the chemistry discipline. Furthermore, they suggest that the school can develop strategies relevant to emotional education, supporting and welcoming students, favoring the development of socio- emotional skills. Therefore, as an institution that cares about well-being, the school can innovate pedagogically, contributing to the students' learning process and their integral human formation
