Softwares de simulação no ensino de química: uma representação social na prática docente

Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

In our modern society it is no longer possible to think of a teaching focused exclusively on the teacher figure, once considered the sole holder of the knowledge. The teaching-learning process must be something dynamic that structures, but that is also structured according to the relations which are forged in its developing. So, tools as the modeling softwares appear to optimize, improve and help this process. In this perspective, this work has as its goal to wonder about the conjunctural changes which have caused the teachers to adopt new attitudes in order to achieve a better development of the teaching-learning process. As in consequence of these changes, the teachers are pushed to adopt new ways in their teaching, which, in turn, foster the usage of the new technologies, whose contributions are undeniable, specially in the chemistry field. However, due to the lack of training, the fear of changes and the very fast way these changes have occured, the teachers of the mentioned discipline have built a social representation of the usage of the new technologies, notably, of the modeling softwares, which have at least turned the informatization process of the teaching of Chemistry slower and more confusing. Thus, we believe in the relevance of this work, since this discussion can make us understand how the teachers of Chemistry can use the new technologies in a critical way, enhancing their experience.
