A temática plásticos para alunos com síndrome de Down no Ensino médio: uma proposta de sequência didática

Abstract

Since plastic is one of the materials most used by humans, it can and should be worked in the classroom as a chemistry content, since it is of paramount importance to know how its production and disposal process occurs. Thus, the objective of this work was to create a proposal for a didactic sequence with the theme of plastics, approaching a chemistry content, however, working with students with Down syndrome. The proposal is based on the fact that today, children with SD have a lot of difficulty in learning, both in chemistry and in other disciplines, due to problems related to the syndrome, and also due to the lack of preparation and interest in schools in create an effective learning environment for them. The work was carried out through a survey of data collection, and literature review, searching the Google Scholar online platform using the keywords “Plastics; Chemistry teaching; Down's syndrome". Thus, it was possible to verify that there are few publications, thus concluding that the theme is little explored when investigated in relation to this public, and based on these data, it was intentional to create a proposal for a didactic sequence with an approach aimed at students with Down syndrome.. This was developed to be worked on in 6 classes, starting with the establishment of a bond, and explanation of the project. The segment revolves around the presentation of material and the use of drawings and experimentation to approach the content to promote dynamism and effective learning, opening ways for students to assimilate the content in the best possible way.
