Uso das tecnologias digitais no ensino de ciências da natureza: percepções de estudantes do 2° ano no ensino médio

Abstract

This work aimed to investigate the potential of the use of digital tools in Natural Sciences learning in the perception of high school students. Students from a state school in the interior of Minas Gerais participated in a project in which they should engage in proposing materials for Physics, Chemistry and Biology studies using digital tools. This material was shared with other students, and then the impact of using these materials from the students' perspective was evaluated. We apply questionnaires at the beginning and end of the project. Canva, Flipgrid and Word Wall were the most accessed tools and generated greater engagement. The results indicate that students perceive potential in the use of digital material aimed at learning Natural Sciences, considering its use linked to studies interesting and effective. In addition to the data from the questionnaires, throughout the project, it was possible to perceive the participation, interest and the ease with which students used digital resources. The use of digital material generated relevant implications for students' learning insofar as it broadened their interest in the contents, favored discussions among peers, in addition to the development of skills specific to the material construction process. Finally, the project also generated relevant implications for the training of the teacher-researcher who developed the project.
