MUSIC AS A PLAYING INSTRUMENT IN LEARNING THE INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Music. Parody. Ludicity. Intermolecular Interactions. Organic Compounds. Chemistry Teaching.
The use of music has been increasingly widespread as an alternative teaching and learning strategy. In this context, this research work has used the production of parodied musics, as a playful activity, for the teaching content intermolecular interactions of organic compounds, in line with some conceptions of Vygotsky, Saviani and Libâneo, and mainly in ideas of Paulo Freire pedagogy. Despite the relevance of this content, it is noticed that the students still continue to have difficulties in associating scientific concepts with the phenomenon observed in everyday life, in connecting the microscopic level to the macroscopic level of matter. Therefore, a sequence of activities was developed in order seeking to contribute to the learning of this content to 41 students in a 3rd grade class of high school, belonging to a State Public School, located in the city of Russas/CE. To this end, a qualitative methodological approach was carried out which presents some elements of the type of action research. The elaboration of the parodies by the students occurred after the identification of the affinities with the concepts coming from the intermolecular interactions, under the orientation of the Professor/researcher. The analysis of the data referring to the lyrics of the parodies were made through the Discursive Textual Analysis (ATD). The data collection occurred using questionnaires with objective questions for the ascertain of the didactic/pedagogical proposal. The results obtained indicated that the production and socialization of musical parodies favored the teaching and learning process, since they motivated students to engage in the construction of scientific knowledge. The academic product of this work will result in a Chemistry Manual and videos of the parodied musics, in order that the teachers can use it in a viable way in the construction of knowledge.
