DIDACTIC SEQUENCE IN THE TEACHING OF IONIC BONDS: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVING PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE
Didactic sequence; Ionic bonds; Problem solving; Teaching Learning
Introduction: The obstacles encountered in learning chemical bonds are varied, mainly due to the level of abstraction required to understand such theories. Thus, the use of active methodologies that guarantee the student's protagonism in teaching-learning has been gaining prominence, among them we can mention the Problem Solving methodology and the Didactic Sequence as collaborators in this process. Objective: To develop and evaluate a didactic sequence for teaching ionic bonds using the active methodology "Learning Based on Problem Solving" for 2nd grade high school students at a private school in Natal. Method: This is a qualitative research with descriptive objectives to be carried out in a private school in the city of Natal/Rio Grande do Norte. The study sample will consist of 30 students from the 2nd year of high school. For data collection, four instruments were developed, of which two are individual questionnaires and two experimental investigative scripts to be used by students. Expected Results: It is expected to develop students' reflective capacity, in order to enrich the teaching-learning process in the context of ionic bonds. Final considerations: The use of active methodologies can serve as collaborators in the student training process in high school.
