Uso de aplicativos em Ciências e Química Experiência nos ensinos fundamental e médio

Abstract

The present work aimed to investigate the conceptions of science and chemistry teachers regarding the new technologies that are in the classroom related to the use of the applications Periodic table and Periodic table. In addition to the applications used, a qualitative questionnaire was used to evaluate teachers' opinions regarding innovation and motivation in the use of these resources. Five teachers from the State Education Network of the State of Rio de Janeiro participated in this study, from primary and secondary education, from the municipalities of São João de Meriti / RJ and São Gonçalo / RJ, who used the applications in their classes, with the aid of the researcher, who also observed the students' reception of them. The results showed that 80% of teachers do not use applications in their classrooms, but all have approved their use, all believe that applications can merit space in their pedagogical practices and also demonstrated that it is a resource that can facilitate teaching-learning. Finally, it was possible to observe the great acceptance of the teachers and students of these classes before the use of the applications as facilitators in the teaching-learning process. The use of new technological resources in the classroom should be encouraged to the teachers as a motivating and attractive tool for the student.
