Pílula anticoncepcional: uma proposta de sequência didática com enfoque cts aplicada no ensino de química

Abstract

This work presents a Didactic Sequence with the theme "Contraceptive Pill". This Didactic Sequence was applied in a class of ten undergraduates of the Chemistry course of the Federal University of Pampa, with online exhibition classes in a pandemic period. The objective of this work is to investigate a Didactic Sequence, from the application of the approach of the theme "Contraceptive Pill" in the teaching of Chemistry, in order to enable a better understanding of chemical concepts allied to the proposed theme. During the application of the Didactic Sequence, the theme and proposition of the problem situation were presented. Then, there was the introduction on the theme as well as the questions and concepts that encompass it. In its third part, there was the promotion of a debate, with CTS focus, and the use of the problem situation. At the end of the Didactic Sequence, there was the application of a playful game that addressed the organic functions in relation to the theme with natural and synthetic hormones. With the application of the Didactic Sequence, by the results obtained throughout it in its four parts, it was concluded that its use, combined with different teaching methodologies employed, made the undergraduates could reflect critically on their lives according to the reports brought on the theme.
