Educação empreendedora: uma abordagem para o ensino de química

Abstract

Entrepreneurial Education presents itself as another instrument to contribute significantly to the teaching / learning relationship. Thus, the present work seeks to use the characteristics and skills developed by the entrepreneur as a contribution to the teaching of Chemistry. Held in a private school in the municipality of Estância, in the interior of southern Sergipe, with the participation of 32 students from a class in the 1st high school. In order to propose a didactic sequence that would make possible the integration between Chemistry and Entrepreneurship based on the precepts of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), nine stages were developed, among which we can mention rounds of debates, technical lectures, construction of conceptual maps, making of an entrepreneurial product, technical visit and creation of business plans. The didactic sequence provided students with a greater understanding of the concepts involved in Chemistry, when treated in an entrepreneurial way. This observation was made through a Case Study using descriptively the qualitative method, seeking to understand characteristics of social entrepreneurship with a focus on student behavior. The results presented from the students' responses and movements to the challenges presented were discussed and analyzed based on entrepreneurial pedagogy. It is concluded that the students were significantly involved, acting creatively and proactively in search of assembling an innovative product that adds value to their community, assuming in several situations the expected protagonism in the learning process, appropriating teaching of Chemistry to undertake.
