A utilização de história em quadrinhos como estratégia didática no ensino de química sobre gases

Abstract

The traditional teaching method is still widely used in Brazilian education, but many researchers criticize the way in which the teaching process is conducted through it, in which the student acts passively in the construction of knowledge. As a consequence of this, innovative methods are being developed and, among them, the use of Comics (Comics) as a didactic strategy for the teaching-learning process can be highlighted. Therefore, the present work aimed to analyze the importance of using comics as a didactic strategy in the teaching-learning process of gases in the Chemistry discipline in High School. To this end, using the Pixton platform, a comic book about gases was developed and applied to first and third grade classes at a private school in the city of Maribondo-AL. Data collection took place through questionnaires developed with the help of the Google Forms platform. The work was developed in two stages. In the first, a class on ideal gases was conducted using an expository class, followed by the application of a questionnaire to collect data. In the second stage, a class was conducted using the HQ built on the Pixton platform, followed by the application of the questionnaire, which was applied in the first stage with some changes to collect data and compare the results obtained. The results obtained show that the use of comics as a didactic strategy for teaching gases was well accepted by students, becoming a more attractive process when compared to the use of traditional methods for acquiring this knowledge, which directly reflected in the results obtained in the final questionnaire, in which students achieved better performances when compared to the initial questionnaire. Concluding, therefore, that the use of HQ as a didactic strategy can contribute to an improvement in the teaching-learning process of gases, by favoring, above all, a more solid acquisition of knowledge, when compared to traditional methodology.
