Repositório de tecnologias educativas digitais no ensino médio para aprendizagem de química no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract

This work was developed during a Scientific Initiation project, with a scholarship from CNPQ. The topic arose from the urgent need of the Covid-19 pandemic, which made it impossible to have in-person classes at IFAM, Brazil, and worldwide. For this reason, the opportunity arose to develop a Repository of Digital Educational Technologies in Teaching for learning Chemistry in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, aiming to support the teaching of chemistry in high school through Digital Educational Technologies in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study is characterized as a qualitative research, with a descriptive and exploratory nature. Data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire on Google Forms, which was answered by Chemistry teachers in technical high school education, from the three campuses in the capital of Amazonas at IFAM (Manaus Centro, Distrito Industrial, and Zona Leste). The research results showed that 88.9% of IFAM teachers were satisfied with the use of digital educational technologies during the period of social isolation, as they proved to be an essential resource for the continuation of classes and the interaction between teachers and students. However, 11.1% of the respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the use of digital educational technologies, indicating that not all resources are consistent with the needs of the classroom, especially in the case of remote teaching. Therefore, it is important to select and group in a repository the digital educational technologies chosen and tested by high school chemistry teachers during the pandemic, which can assist in the teaching and learning process, both in virtual and in-person settings, helping the teacher to choose which resource is suitable for a particular lesson. Thus, the research highlighted the importance and possibilities of using ICTs to support the learning of chemistry during high school.
