IMPORTÂNCIA DE AULAS PRÁTICAS E TECNOLOGIAS PARA AULAS DE QUÍMICA

Abstract

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the importance of experimental classes and use of technology in teaching and Chemistry study. This was a field research using questionnaires provided with 12 questions applied to 30 students of a state school in the city of Itaipulândia, PR. The results showed that only 3.33% always like chemistry and 50% of them think the discipline difficult to understand. Among respondents 50% like the practical classes and 63.3% cite that experimentation always helps in understanding the discipline. Just as 40% say that technology helps improve the teaching of chemistry. However, 80% believe that the practical classes need improvement and 36.67% confirm that the connection between the theory and the daily lives of students facilitates the understanding of matter. Thus, the results demonstrate that the lack of interest of students for chemistry study should, in general, the lack of technology or the need for improvement in practical classes. It can be seen also, the lack of interrelation between what is taught in the classroom and the daily life of the student. For this reason, many students do not realize the importance and the chemical contribution to their lives.
