A importância da experimentação para o ensino aprendizagem de química no ensino médio: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The use of experimentation as a tool is fundamental for the process of teaching and learning chemistry concepts, especially in high school, as students have difficulty assimilating the content. This study aims to analyze the importance of experimentation in teaching and learning using low-cost materials for high school students, identifying the main difficulties reported in its application. Using a literature review as a methodology, we analyzed studies on the importance of experimentation and its difficulties over the past 10 years. The results obtained demonstrated that even in contexts where there is a lack of structure and funding, experimentation with low-cost materials provides better learning and encourages student protagonism. Therefore, the use of experimental practices with everyday materials should be encouraged in schools as a way to improve chemistry teaching.
