| dc.description.abstract | The hypermedia tend to function as a tool that assists the teacher in the
teaching-learning process, it presents several possibilities for the individual to build
concepts, interacting with simulations, animations, accessing texts, videos, pictures,
sounds and links that will contribute to their learning. By making use of different
forms of language, hypermedia allow the use of different methodologies and assists
the teacher to meet the differences of each student. Diagnosed in previous studies,
there are already some hypermedia facing the teaching of chemistry, however, was
not found on teaching Thermochemistry. Considering that in a survey of chemistry
teachers in public schools to Thermochemistry of Mato Grosso was cited as one of
the most difficult content to work in high school. Thus, this study shows how the
theme of Information and Communication Technologies in Education, being the
object of his search an educational product, a hypermedia. We investigated the
contribution of hypermedia TermoQuim on Thermochemistry in teaching chemistry
to high school students, developed during this research by analyzing the participants
Institutional Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching (Pibid) subproject of
Chemistry UFMT campus Cuiabá (Proclamation 2011). The survey was conducted
using a survey methodology die qualitative characteristics of case study and
documentary research, and that this is an exploratory research, it has as its object of
study, a hypermedia, subject still little known and exploited in teaching Chemistry.
The data collection instruments used were two questionnaires, one directed study,
analysis of textbooks and scientific literature review. The Hypermedia TermoQuim
the following components: Presentation, Trivia, Heat and Temperature, endothermic
and exothermic reactions, Calorimeter, Enthalpy, Activities, Credit and tutoring. This
work allowed us to conclude that the use of hypermedia in the Teaching of
Chemistry contributes positively in the teaching-learning process, because it can
provide students access to different media, and allow them to act actively in the
process. Thus, the proposed educational product showed himself able to assist
teachers in teaching Chemistry Thermochemistry and can be used in high school and
also with undergraduate students in chemistry to address the production of teaching
materials. The survey results show further that the use of hypermedia can contribute
effectively to the teaching of Chemistry, since this tool allows teachers to make use
of various resources (video, text, sound, image, animation, simulation, experiments)
to address the same content, which may oportunizar meaningful learning. | |
