O uso do álcool e o ensino de Ciências: uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada com estudantes do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work aims to educate young people about the consumption of alcoholic beverages and its consequences. We know that this number has been growing over the years, and that a large part of this audience are adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years, and this has serious consequences both in the health area, as well as in social life. The sale of alcoholic beverages to minors under 18 is strictly prohibited, in some cases, teenagers when ingesting drinks do so excessively. The flaws in the inspection processes make access not only to drinks but also to other types of drugs more viable. The methodology of this work consists of a qualitative research. The questionnaire was applied to an 8th grade elementary school class at Escola Emilio Geraldo Pereira, located in Mata Sul de Pernambuco, in the municipality of Barreiros. Through the investigation, it was possible to analyze the adolescents who make the inappropriate consumption of alcoholic beverages and the age group of the students who consume them. As observed in the results, most students have contact and ease of acquiring alcoholic beverages, and they use them without taking into account the irreparable effects of alcohol misuse. Thus, the application allowed to stimulate the critical sense in the students, made them rethink about how wrong the excessive consumption of drinks is and that this attitude has irreparable consequences. It is emphasized then that the teacher in his classes has a fundamental role in the fight against drugs
