Pesticide in food cultivation: a didactical proposal for teaching and learning of organic chemistry in basic education

Abstract

The present work presents a proposal for a Didactic Sequence (DS) aimed at teaching and learning the content of Organic Functions, in 2nd and/or 3rd year of High School classes. The proposed DS is based on a methodological approach contextualized with the environmental theme and involves holding 6 meetings lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes each. DS proposes the adoption of the flipped classroom methodology, aiming at attractive teaching, through the use of various resources, including Virtual Learning Objects such as videos, games and simulations, in addition to the use of different Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT), in order to enable interaction, as well as motivate students' interest in the study of Organic Chemistry. The development of the proposal resulted in the elaboration and publication of a educational booklet that can be used as support material by teachers and students of Basic Education in the application of the proposed DS as a way of providing a more contextualized, motivating and attractive approach to the content of Organic Functions, in addition to contributing to the development of students' critical and argumentative sense, as it involves the theme of pesticides, a subject of environmental, scientific, social and economic relevance.
