Sequência de ensino investigativo na Educação para Jovens e Adultos com tema adulteração em leite.

Abstract

The teaching of chemistry faces various challenges to integrate into the daily lives of students, especially in Youth and Adult Education (YAE). In this work, an inquiry based learning sequence was developed in the subject of Chemistry for classes of YAE High School with the objective of approaching the content to a social theme, the problem of adulteration in milk. The sequence was organized in 3 stages: the presentation of the theme and problematization; experimental activity and the discussion and proposal of solutions. The students who participated in the stages of sequence had a better performance in proposing solutions and understanding of the subject addressed. The systematization of ideas, performed in a conversation wheel format, encouraged students to interact collectively and list solutions to the problem situation, showing that this methodology can be a good didactic proposal for YAE, by being based on contextualization and making scientific concepts more accessible to these students.
