Teaching of chemistry and TDIC in youth and adult education: the context of relationships in the classroom

Abstract

Considering the difficulties in approaching Chemistry in Youth and Adult Education (YAE), it is important to seek didactic strategies that can contribute to the teaching to the teaching and learning process of these teaching practices. In this perspective, this article is a type of master’s research, it is possible to discuss an insertion of Digital Technologies of Information and Communications (DTIC) in the Chemistry classes for YAE, with the objective of identifying constituent elements of the teaching and learning process that denote the conceptual meaning and social education of Chemistry through DTIC. It is an action research with the universe of study as a group of YAE from the State Education Network of Goias. For the purpose of this article, we discuss the relationships established between YAE teacher and students of different age groups in the use of DTIC. Such relationships were developed from the use of two applications with a focus on calculating the amount of matter and molar mass. In this process, it becomes significant to highlight the rejuvenation of YAE students, which evidenced the establishment of behaviors of exchange experiences and knowledge in the classroom and the collaborantion between yong students and older students. Another aspect to note is the alternation between the mediation of the teacher and the autonomy of students en activities for manipulating applications.
