Coontribuições de uma unidade de aprendizagem sobre a produção do vinho na região da campanha para aprendizagem de química orgânica

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of a thematic Learning Unit and contextualized with aspects of the campaign region in the learning of Basic Education students about Organic Chemistry. The Learning Units (AU) allow the organization of a teaching sequence that breaks with the linearity of the conceptual contents of Chemistry. In addition, the search for regional contextualization can contribute to the students to acquire a new posture through Science Teaching, as well as realize the potential of the region. The region of the campaign is located in the South of Brazil and has been economically outstanding in the production of vineyards and olive groves. Through the production of Wines from the Region of the Campaign, it is sought to emphasize the organic chemistry of the alcohol function emphasizing the positive and negative aspects in health, economy and environmental issues. The AU will be developed with third graders from a state school, Bagé / RS. To support the thematic approach, we will seek subsidies in the Freirean perspective of Science Teaching, such as dialogue, school as a space of culture, educational action in which the learner is an active and participatory subject in the learning teaching process. The AU "The Chemistry of Wine" aims to address the teaching of organic functions (alcohol, carboxylic acid, aldehyde), fermentation reactions, chemical composition (grape, soil and wine) and Ph and configures as educational production to be produced. In addition, the AU also intends to contribute to the construction of reasoned arguments regarding education through research (Demo, 1997, Moraes, Galiazzi and Ramos, 2004), aiming at overcoming the curricular engulfment. The research will be of the research-intervention type and will have Discusive Textual Analysis as its method of analysis. To obtain data, the following instruments will be used: questionnaires, video and audio recordings; individual portfolio of students, researcher's diary; exercise resolutions; production of digital media from student groups.
