Instagram como ferramenta em educação informal no ensino de química

Abstract

The present work seeks to conceptualize the importance of education for the development of a country, and from this idea, explain how existing teaching methodologies were increasingly being updated with the evolution of humanity. Based on the ideas of Gonçalves (2015 the difference between formal, non-formal and informal methods of education was defined, giving more focus to the latter, as well as its influence on the teaching of chemistry. With a well-established definition, we sought to clarify how social networks are used, citing examples of some such as Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp, as well as their descriptions and their relevance. Continuing, it was analyzed how Instagram can be used as an informal teaching method of chemistry education through the sharing of chemistry-related content through the social network. Ending then with the data obtained from the scope of the publications and consequently their involvement after the execution of the proposal. Then, validate the proposed methodology to help the way chemistry is taught in schools.
