Laboratory practice complemented with chemical ludo – The design of a multistrategic teaching unit for regular high school chemistry students

Abstract

The research refers to the process of presenting and teaching Chemistry to regular high school students who attend the first year. consequently, the project aims to apply the concept of Multistrategic Didactic Units (MDU), which aims to link a variety of didactic sequences in harmony with previously established and delimited learning objectives, recognizing and stereotyping the fundamental concepts necessary to introduce,  achieve and practice, in a playful and empirical way, the Teaching of Chemistry to students of the first year of regular high school; execute the appropriate sequences to understand the issues involved; improve school development by relating the contents taught with their social and technological importance, with emphasis on the study of acid bases and indicators, at first; highlight the importance of teacher and student performance in the teaching-learning process, providing recommendations for pedagogical practices to improve Chemistry Teaching. To support the research, we rely on the theoretical contribution of David Ausubel, Amadeo Bego, Cleidson Carneiro Guimarães and modern authors who approach the themes. The methodology for carrying out the research included bibliographic research on the content, practical classes held in the science laboratory on inorganic functions - acids, bases and indicators and the complementation of the methodology with playful activity, the latter being carried out in the media room of the school. This playful activity includes a game, where all the theory taught is explored through objective and essay questions in order to provide an environment suitable for the full development of students' skills and competences.
