Resumo: | Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are ubiquitous in our everyday lives as well as in educational contexts, much more so after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of ICTs in education, e.g., virtual laboratories, is of great importance to support the teaching of chemistry. Given the difficulties secondary school students encounter in understanding organic chemistry topics, this research aimed at investigating whether the use of a software program could improve teaching and promote student learning of content related to organic compounds. To this end, the data were collected by means of a pre- and a post-intervention questionnaire. The study was conducted at a public secondary school in Itacoatiara, AM, Brazil, with 3rd-year (final year) students. The software programs IrYdium Chemistry Lab, LAPEQ-USP (Laboratory of Research in Chemistry Teaching and Educational Technologies, University of São Paulo), and Simulations for Chemistry were employed to introduce the participating students to a chemistry lab and to simulate lab practices involving chromatography experiments. The analysis of the collected data suggests that the use of virtual labs promoted the participants’ motivation to learn organic chemistry as well as ability to integrate concepts taught in the classroom to aspects of their everyday lives. The participating students also reported that they would like to use other virtual lab programs to study chemistry, thus constituting new ways of learning beyond the classroom. |

En esta aproximación entre tecnologías y enseñanza, los Laboratorios Virtuales con el uso de software educativo cobran una importancia fundamental como herramienta de ayuda y apoyo en la enseñanza de la química. Considerando la gran dificultad que muchos estudiantes encuentran en la comprensión de los contenidos de la disciplina Química Orgánica, dirigida al 3° grado de Escuela Secundaria, este trabajo tuvo como objetivo investigar cómo el uso de software en la disciplina de química puede enriquecer los procesos de enseñanza y facilitar la comprensión de temas relacionados con los compuestos orgánicos a través de dos cuestionarios, uno de diagnóstico y otro de evaluación. El estudio fue aplicado en una clase del 3º año de la Escuela Secundaria en una escuela pública de la ciudad de Itacoatiara-AM. Los softwares Laboratorio Virtual de Química Yridium, Laboratorio de Investigación y Enseñanza de Química – LAPEQ-USP y Simulaciones de Química fueron utilizados para simular clases prácticas involucrando experimentos de Cromatografía y para presentar un laboratorio de química. Luego de recolectar y analizar los resultados, se observó que el uso del Laboratorio Virtual contribuye a la motivación del estudio de la química orgánica, además de ayudar a relacionar los conceptos estudiados en el aula con la vida cotidiana. El estudio también mostró que a los estudiantes les gustaría utilizar otros laboratorios virtuales en la disciplina de química, brindando así nuevas formas de aprendizaje más allá del aula.As Tecnologias da Comunicação e da Informação (TIC) estão presentes em nosso cotidiano e no contexto de pandemia foi bastante inserido no ambiente educacional. Nesta aproximação entre tecnologias e o ensino, os Laboratórios Virtuais com a utilização de softwares educacionais tem importância fundamental como uma ferramenta de auxílio e suporte no ensino de química. Considerando a grande dificuldade que muitos alunos encontram em compreender os conteúdos da disciplina Química Orgânica, abordada para a 3° série do Ensino Médio, este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar como a utilização de um software na disciplina de química pode enriquecer os processos de ensino e facilitar a compreensão dos assuntos relacionados aos compostos orgânicos por meio de dois questionários, um diagnóstico e outro avaliativo. O estudo foi aplicado em uma turma do 3° ano do ensino médio em uma escola estadual do município de Itacoatiara-AM. Os softwares Laboratório virtual de química Yridium, laboratório de pesquisa e ensino de química – LAPEQ-USP e Simulations for Chemistry foram utilizados para simulação de aulas práticas envolvendo experimentos de Cromatografia e para apresentação de um laboratório de química. Após a coleta e análise dos resultados observou-se que o uso do Laboratório Virtual contribui para a motivação do estudo de química orgânica, bem como ajudou a relacionar os conceitos estudados em sala de aula com o cotidiano. O estudo também mostrou que os alunos gostariam de utilizar outros laboratórios virtuais na disciplina de química, oportunizando assim novas formas de aprender para além da sala de aula.Research, Society and Development2022-08-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3288810.33448/rsd-v11i10.32888Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 10; e426111032888Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 10; e426111032888Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 10; e4261110328882525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/32888/27939Copyright (c) 2022 Ívina Thayná Miranda Trindade; Aniele da Silva Neves Lopes; Alessandra Glória Cárdenas; Alexandre Rodrigues Ramos; Celine Menezes de Souza; Shirlen Teixeira Soares; Vítor Hugo Neves da Silva; Geone Maia Corrêa; Jean Michel dos Santos Menezes; Dominique Fernandes de Moura do Carmohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTrindade, Ívina Thayná Miranda Lopes, Aniele da Silva Neves Cárdenas, Alessandra Glória Ramos, Alexandre Rodrigues Souza, Celine Menezes deSoares, Shirlen Teixeira Silva, Vítor Hugo Neves da Corrêa, Geone MaiaMenezes, Jean Michel dos Santos Carmo, Dominique Fernandes de Moura do2022-08-12T22:23:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/32888Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:48:43.656447Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
