A metodologia peer instruction como instrumento no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de química

Abstract

This paper sought to analyze the effectiveness of teaching-learning in the chemistry subject of first grade in the content of Linus Pauling electronic distribution using the active methodology called Peer Instruction. The research was developed in the Tiradentes College of the Military Police of Alagoas, located in the Trapiche da Barra neighborhood, in the city of Maceió-Alagoas.A qualitative case study was used in which two questionnaires were administered in electronic formats to this class in the 2021 school year during the 1nd semester when the school was in a hybrid teaching format. The research was characterized by the analysis of the data resulting from these forms, which were directed individually and then in pairs. It was possible to see that the highest percentages of correct answers were related to performing the activity in pairs, as expected, and that the rates varied between 80 and 100 % with respect to marking the correct alternative, and when compared to the individual perspective, the percentage was between 70 and 100 %.Therefore, the application of the Peer Instruction methodology in the chemistry teaching-learning process proved to be a viable tool, as it allowed a better performance of the activities, since besides doing the activity in pairs, it also increased the interaction among the students.
