SUMMARY:

The difficulties in learning Organic Chemistry faced by high school students occur mainly due to the lack of contextualization of concepts related to daily life, but also due to the weak connection with other chemical concepts and the difficulty in interpreting chemical language, leading to the need to rethink the pedagogical approach. Thus, to relate the content to an everyday theme, we developed this work based on the Case Study teaching strategy, placing students in contact with real or fictional problems to contextualize chemical content. In light of this, we were guided by the following research question: What is the potential of the Case Study strategy for learning chemical concepts and their social implications? In this context, the objective was to apply and investigate the Case Study teaching strategy for the study of Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, and Esters, using the theme of fuels, so that students develop skills aimed at recognizing and differentiating organic functions, and relate the studied content to everyday situations. The research was developed using a qualitative approach, following a protocol approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The implementation took place at Berilo Wanderley State School, located in the city of Natal/RN, where four investigative cases were created and applied to a third-year high school class in Potiguar State Education. This was done through a sequence of 9 lessons that involved a prior knowledge questionnaire, case reading and discussion, guided research, keeping a logbook, and culminating with the production of videos by the students, in which they acted out the cases and presented the proposed solutions as groups. The analyzed data indicate that many students were unaware of the organic chemistry content related to the theme of Fuels or had incomplete ideas derived from common sense. However, throughout the research, they developed learning that was identified through Bardin's Content Analysis. As an Educational Product, we propose an Instagram page as a tool to disseminate the Case Study strategy and audiovisual productions created by the students.
