O uso de conteúdo digital do instagram no ensino de química: explorando perfis de química como recurso didático

Abstract

Educational development, with a focus on learning, has occurred in parallel with global trends. One can cite as an example of this development the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which has its use encouraged in education. In addition, the insertion in the educational scope of Digital Information and Communication Technologies - TDIC have provided a technological advance in teaching, as well as contributed significantly to the teaching and learning process. Social networks have also been an instrument that has helped in the teaching and learning process, given that the young audience is mostly registered in some type of social network. The present work sought to analyze how the digital content of Chemistry on Instagram can be used as teaching resources in the classroom, as well as to carry out a search on Instagram profiles that share content related to Chemistry. As a methodology, bibliographic research of the literatures that address the topic in question was carried out. For treatment of the collected data, the instrument of collection and analysis was the file, thus, two articles were selected for analysis and discussion on the common and divergent points between the authors. Some profiles on Instagram that presented content aimed at teaching chemistry were analyzed and selected. it was observed that it is possible for the teacher to insert some methodological tools published in these profiles, such as images, videos, mind maps and podcast. Many profiles were found with a commitment to science, but some profiles were also found that did not present the concepts so clearly. In this way, it is expected that this study can contribute to the Teaching of Chemistry and provide teachers with other means of methodologies. As a limitation of the research, few articles were found that addressed the use of Instagram as a tool to assist in the teaching of chemistry. In this sense, it is suggested that teachers and researchers are interested in the subject of the present research and can develop future studies introducing new tools that help the teaching and learning process through social networks, in particular, Instagram.
