Depressão como tema gerador no ensino de química

Abstract

The present study used the depression theme as a generative theme in chemistry teaching, with the aim of raising awareness, contextualizing and proposing the facilitation of chemistry subjects that can be approached through the use of depression as a generative theme. In view of its complexity, an attempt was made to define and characterize depression, highlighting the challenges caused by the disease within the school environment, such as low performance in subjects and lack of interest in subjects. students' learning in the classroom, so that an interdisciplinary approach could be carried out within the context used, since the chemistry that exists in depression allows us to use it to obtain a correlation between everyday life and the subjects addressed, thus generating better results in the classroom of class. For a better understanding, the present study proposed a didactic sequence developed according to the norms, skills and competences of the BNCC.
