Ensino de Química integrado a temas ambientais: relato de uma sequência didática na reserva florestal do Poço Escuro

Abstract

The present work describes an application of a Didactic Sequence (DS), relating the Teaching of Chemistry with Environmental Education (EE), during a visit to the Reserva Florestal do Poço Escuro with 1st-year high school students from Colégio Estadual José Sá Nunes in the city of Vitória da Conquista - BA. It was developed in the context of Science, Technology, and Society (STS). It took place in the second half of 2019 during the period of the Curricular Component of Stage IV, concomitant with the Pedagogical Residency. The DS sought to bring contextualized, reflective, and involvement with the formation of critical and active citizens in the society where they are inserted. The research was structured under the action research method. Data were collected through students' prior knowledge, video production, observation of environmental impacts, interdisciplinary field class, questionnaire, practical class, and discussion of results. We sought to analyze the contributions of DS in promoting the citizenship education of students, evidenced by their speeches and intellectual productions. In this report, we sought to develop a critical sense of environmental changes that have been occurring, such as natural disasters, deforestation, irrational use of water, and inadequate garbage and sewage disposal. In addition, this work allowed us to reflect on the importance of teachers communicating and working with students to implement interdisciplinarity within high schools
