O ensino de geometria molecular mediado pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação

Abstract

According to the students, chemistry uses to be on of the most difficult subjects to be learned, since it requires a high memorization about concepts and formula. Aiming at finding out alternatives to minimize this effect, we have incorporate ITCs as a new way to teach molecular geometry, analysing how such a technology can contribute to the teaching-learning process. The methodology to develop this research is quali-quantitative and exploratory, made by means of pre and post-tests applied before and after using a molecules simulator. Obtained results were tabulated and analysed according to statistic measures, which verified the use of ITCs can leverage the molecular geometry teaching in chemistry classes.
