Oficina de Pilhas e Baterias de corrosão construídas com materiais do cotidiano para estudantes do ensino básico como uma alternativa para o ensino utilizando a experimentação

Abstract

A workshop on corrosion in batteries and batteries, using everyday materials, was designed to address both theoretical and practical aspects related to our daily lives. Chemistry education is enhanced through lessons that involve experiments and theory, employing a methodology where the student takes on an active role. The methodology employed in the workshop application was successful in capturing students' attention, evidenced by their active participation and a high level of correct responses — specifically, twenty correct answers out of a group of twenty-two, representing 91%, in the applied questionnaire. This positive outcome was supported by qualitative feedback from both students and the supervising teacher, indicating agreement that more classes could be developed with additional time for more effective teaching. Moreover, the results showed a trend among students to, when they can't use research mechanisms, utilize previously acquired knowledge to justify the presented questions, as opposed to relying on the new information introduced during the workshop. It was concluded that the workshop had a positive outcome, generating interest from both the supervising teacher and students in repeating this initiative. Most importantly, it contributed to the learning experience for the students who participated in the workshop.
