Aprendizagem colaborativa utilizando o Google Classroom como forma de otimizar a aprendizagem da química orgânica para alunos do ensino médio

Abstract

The present proposal consists of using collaborative learning associated with the Google Classroom platform, to be applied as a teaching methodology in a third year high school class. The research was developed in the High School of EEM LICEU DO CONJUNTO CEARÁ, located in the city of Fortaleza / CE. For this purpose, groups of 5 or 6 students were created, where these groups made presentations on topics related to Organic Chemistry, these groups communicated only through Google Classroom, as the only form of communication of these groups, that is, each group had its own room inside the Google Classroom and had to work as a team to execute the presentation of the chosen theme. The professor was a consultant within Google Classroom, someone with whom students could ask questions and make suggestions, such independence generated the need for students to seek knowledge on their own in addition to building for team learning. During the presentations, the teacher and the class evaluated the performance of each member of the group, as a way of explaining the content, with the knowledge acquired, where at the end of the presentations, the members of the groups answered evaluative questionnaires about their learning during the process, and about the participation of members of their own group. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) analyzed from an approach in teaching practice; with the use of tools for the Classroom environment of the “Google Classroom” application, it provided the creation of an interactive environment where it was possible to share teaching materials in a dynamic way and where the real-time interaction between students and teachers occurred during the activities of the subject. This allowed more time for collective work and debates in order to contribute significantly to the teaching-learning process of Teaching Chemistry.
