Recursos informatizados como ferramenta no processo de ensino e aprendizagem - estudo de caso da cadeia produtiva do açaí na cidade de Macapá

Abstract

This dissertation is an action research in the critical paradigm that investigated the insertion of a virtual learning environment for support the chemical component involving students of the 2nd year of the integrated high school from public school from the city of Macapá/AP . Seeks to recognize and discuss the ideas presented by some teachers and students about the concepts involved in chemical analysis, seeking to examine the main obstacles involved in this issue and, from this information, develop a proposal for a virtual learning environment (VLE) as teaching and learning strategy. In a proposal for collaborative participation were developed and implemented a series of activities in the Moodle platform for monitoring the activities and difficulties. The theoretical basis of the discussions was based on extensive literature on the teaching of chemical analysis of pH in aqueous solutions, know the characteristics of acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), and new information and communication technologies (ICT) and VLE. They talked among themselves, among other authors, Oliveira, Rego, Rogez, Souza, Tonon, Vygotsky, about the characteristics of acai berry, education and chemistry; Almeida, Andrade, Borba, Correia, Froes, Nascimento, among others, when approached the digital world and new technological tools. Data collection took place initially in written questionnaire and collating data was applied at the end of the VLE available on MOODLE. This study aimed to propose an virtual learning environments (VLE) that can contribute to the understanding of concepts about chemical analysis of acai berry mixed in aqueous solutions, indicating the scale of pH in acidic solutions and highlight the contributions and limitations of using a virtual environment learning and its potential in the teaching and learning process. The results also indicate that complementarity between classroom learning combining ICT tools can promote meaningful opportunities for learning and reflection on the process of teaching and learning for both students and teachers.
