A Didactic Proposal Using Augmented Reality in the Teaching of Chemical Reactions
Augmented Reality; Sequence of activities; Chemical Reactions
The significant increase in publications on Augmented Reality (AR) in the teaching of Chemistry, especially in the years 2019 to 2022 has drawn attention. The ease of handling by students, ubiquity and mobility may be a factor that explains this diffusion. In this sense, this research work aims to produce a sequence of activities, as a proposal of Educational Product for the approach of aspects of the content of Chemical Reactions in High School, using augmented reality. The focus of the investigation is to analyze the limits and potentialities of the proposal, based on the perceptions of the students participating in the research and how the meanings about this content can be mobilized by them in the context of the activities around the use of the tool. The empirical data collection stage will be carried out in a first grade class of high school of a public school located in the city of Natal-RN. For the data collection we will make use of the field diary, with written records of reports and discussions, and of the productions written throughout the activities of the sequence. The analysis of this information will consider theoretical and methodological contributions of the qualitative research approach, including Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). It is expected that the study will generate possibilities of a teaching that makes the Digital Technologies of Information and Communication used for AR an ally in the classes being used in a more promising way in the classroom, and that contributes to the teaching and learning of Chemical Reactions, offering even greater interaction between students and between students and the teacher.
