Construção de histórias em quadrinhos na melhoria do aprendizado de química no ensino médio: estudo de um caso

Abstract

Play activities have proven to be an excellent method in the art of educating and promoting knowledge. In this context, comic books (comic books), which were not so well accepted as a teaching method, were recognized by the LDB (Guidelines and Bases Law) and PCNs (National Curriculum Parameters) as an effective learning tool, helping the teachers and making classes more dynamic and less formal. The introduction of comics in the classes goes beyond simple reading allows to explore the students' imagination, thus stimulating the learning. From this point of view the work developed here aimed to make comics using chemical concepts seen in the classroom in an interdisciplinary way. To improve the learning of the discipline of chemistry. The activity was developed at the Justinian State College of Serpa, with 330 students, these students from the 1st and 2nd year high school classes, and was supported by PIBID - Química scholarship holders. The construction of the magazine was divided into the following steps: meeting with the chemistry teacher at the school where the topics to be worked on were chosen; Afterwards, a support material was elaborated that made the subjects more attractive to the students; later an expository class of the chosen subjects was applied; Finally, the presentation of the support marial to the students was made and the material was handed over for help and consultation at the time of writing the stories. In this way, students were able to elaborate their comics with the support of art and Portuguese teachers in an interdisciplinary way, students could associate images, words and ideas, thus appropriating the knowledge of the discipline. At a later time the best comic books were chosen and reviewed for publication in the “Quimium” Magazine. The elaborate magazine contains 16 stories and was distributed among the students who had their comic books chosen to compose it and for the school library collection. The result obtained was very significant for all participants and the product developed will serve as didactic material to be used by teachers.
