TRANSFORMANDO O ENSINO DE QUÍMICA: EXPERIÊNCIAS COM O CONSTRUTIVISMO PIAGETIANO NO PIEX DO IFRO

Abstract

Chemistry is a fundamental discipline for understanding and solving real-world problems. However, many students in Adult Education (EJA) face challenges in learning and developing an interest in the subject. This article reports on an experience conducted within the scope of the Integrated Extension Project (PIEX) at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Rondônia (IFRO), focusing on a more playful and participatory approach to teaching Chemistry. Using active methodologies and concepts from Piagetian Constructivism, the project aimed to provide activities aimed at improving the learning of students, specifically those in Adult Education. Throughout the development of the project, it became evident that innovative, playful, and active approaches that involve cooperative work make the teaching of Chemistry more engaging and effective, leading to positive outcomes in student comprehension and engagement. Contents covered through methodologies that embraced Piagetian concepts achieved the proposed objectives.
