Cupulate nas aulas de química: uma proposta de sequência didática para o ensino de lipídios baseada nos princípios da pedagogia histórico-crítica

Abstract

The present work aims to promote the learning of lipid content, from the chemistry discipline, for students in the 3rd year of regular high school through a proposal for a didactic sequence, based on the principles of Dermeval Saviani's historical-critical pedagogy. Therefore, we sought to answer the question: how could a didactic sequence, based on the principles of historical-critical pedagogy, contribute to the teaching of lipids in the 3rd year of high school? Then, a methodological path was followed adopting a qualitative, descriptive approach. Resulting in the development of a didactic sequence, in five moments of historical-critical pedagogy, highlighting the instrumentation with the understanding of cupulate production relating to the lipid content, followed by catharsis, with the practical class of the process obtaining cupulate, a sweet similar to chocolate made from cupuaçu. In this way, learning begins with an initial social practice and is transformed into scientific knowledge, making the student appropriate the lipid content within their social practice.
