Oficina temática: uso de plantas medicinais para promover o desenvolvimento do ensino-aprendizagem de funções orgânicas oxigenadas

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate how the use of a thematic workshop involving medicinal plants can contribute to the teaching and learning process of oxygenated organic functions. The research was conducted in a school located in the outskirts of the municipality of Santana-AP, with two second-year classes of the new high school curriculum. The methodology involved applying different teaching approaches in the two classes: one received a traditional lecture style Chemistry lesson on the topic, while the other was taught through a thematic workshop that incorporated medicinal plants to contextualize and explain the oxygenated organic functions. Student knowledge was assessed through the application of pre- and post questionnaires, allowing for a comparison of responses and an analysis of the effectiveness of the adopted strategies.
