Disposing of batteries as a generative theme in the chemistry teaching-learning process with Youth and Adult Education students

Abstract

The objective of this work was to stimulate the teaching-learning process of the Electrochemistry content through the generating theme “Battery Disposal in the environment”, being applied in a group composed of 25 students belonging to Cycle V (1st and 2nd Series of High School), in the Youth and Adult Education modality (EJA). It was a qualitative research, for this, a pedagogical proposal was elaborated and applied, which was divided into two stages totaling eight classes of 50 minutes, being carried out in person and with the help of the digital tool Google Classroom. A learning assessment activity was also developed, which involved the concepts of electrolysis and corrosion, which were studied during Chemistry classes. The data collection instrument started with the application of a form available in Google Classroom, containing two open questions about the pedagogical proposal performed. Data analysis was based on the theoretical contribution of Bardin (2011). In view of the results obtained, it was observed that the battery generator theme brought students closer to their daily lives in order to promote dialogues about the disposal of batteries in nature, as well as to share this knowledge with other members.
