Os conteúdos de química sob o olhar dos estudantes: perspectivas das aulas remotas

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the students' perspectives regarding the contents of Chemistry in remote classes. The discussion highlighted the mediating elements in the teaching-learning process, specifically the content, based mainly on Zabala (1998). The research approach was qualitative, descriptive. The online questionnaire was used to build the data. The empirical field was a Federal Institute of Pernambuco (IFPE) and the participating subjects were students of technical courses integrated to high school. In relation to the students' perspectives on the contents of Chemistry in remote classes, the results showed the students have difficulties in perceiving relations of this curricular component with daily life and their contributions to personal and professional life, regardless of the subject's area of choice for professional activity. In addition, students pointed out that the contents related to stoichiometry and the study of ideal gases, as the most difficult to learn among the contents studied in remote classes. In this case, there is a need for basic knowledge of Mathematics and the Portuguese language that allow the students have a better understanding of calculations, formulas and theories, in a contextualized manner, with methodologies adapted to the distance communication.
