Estudo da contribuição da realidade aumentada para o ensino de química nos cursos técnicos integrados ao ensino médio no IFG câmpus Jataí

Abstract

This study sought to analyze the contributions of the Augmented Reality technology in the teaching of Organic Chemistry, specifically the theme of Constitutional Isomeria for the students of the 3rd year of the technical courses integrated to the high school of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG) Jataí Campus. The Avogadro application was used for the modeling of three-dimensional objects (3D) and for the development of the interactive application of Augmented Reality was used the FLARAS authoring tool, a type of application that does not require previous programming knowledge, facilitating its use by professors of Chemistry. The research proposal was based on the perspective that if the student succeeded in the activity using the technology, this could be attested when he was able to express in writing the arguments of his answers in the questionnaire. Thus, for data collection and subsequent content analysis, questionnaires were applied during and after the research with the participants. The Augmented Reality technology contributed to the teaching of Chemistry, provided a greater interaction among those involved in the process, allowing the visualization of structural formulas in third dimension (3D) and in real time. It should be emphasized that even addressing a specific topic, one must take into account the relation with other contents, valuing the previous knowledge of the students.
