USING ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY FOR IMPLEMENTING SIMPLE INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES TO LEARN CHEMISTRY IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

Considering the diversity of activities in the classroom is very important, with a view to providing opportunities for students to learn chemistry. In this sense, this article aims to bring some myths and concepts that underlie the inquiry-based learning (IBL), as well as to present an activity proposal to be used in the classroom, considering an opportunity to work the investigative aspect in science, with the use of simple and easily accessible materials. It is considered fruitful to bring these reflections into a context of teacher education, in which metacognitive thinking should be part of pedagogical practice for better learning in science and in general. Keywords: teacher training, chemistry education, inquiry-based learning
