Relações da 7a arte com a ciência: um estudo sobre recursos audiovisuais com a química

Abstract

Cartoons, animes, TV shows and movies are among the types of entertainment that many teenagers enjoy. Thinking about it, some chemistry contents can be contextualized so that high school students can learn in a playful and meaningful way. The audiovisual language, permeated by these means, is shown as a facilitating object, capable of assisting in the transmission of knowledge and understanding of students. When the teacher uses films, in order to make a comparison with the subject he is teaching, one can arouse greater attention of the students. Thus, this teaching method can configure a tangential and significant learning. In this way, this work intends to combine excerpts from films and series, as a way to contextualize the fictitious chemistry with the real. The research was applied remotely to 29 students of the 1st year class of the Integrated Technician in Chemistry course of the Federal Institute of Amapá, Macapá campus. Two questionnaires, composed of closed questions, were applied at different moments, before and after class. It was possible to perceive the students' awareness about the valorization of chemistry present in the films and series presented and the consideration of the didactic resource used as a motivating tool of the teaching and learning process, emphasizing that the use of films or playful activities consists in inducing students to think, reflection and the construction of knowledge. Therefore, the use of audiovisual resources was a tool that served as an aid for the process of teaching and learning the content. It is concluded that the research contributed to the students' understanding of the model of significanttangential learning.
