Abstract
Os conteúdos teóricos da ciência são muito abstratos e comumente associados a dificuldades de aprendizagem. A busca por correlacionar a alfabetização científica com o intangível parte das primícias da criação de modelos, que podem auxiliar no acesso ao mundo submicroscópico. Nessas últimas décadas, pesquisadores e educadores da área de educação em ciências têm buscado interferir nas bases educacionais, para tornar o conhecimento científico mais próximo dos alunos, de forma que eles possam compreender melhor os conteúdos tratados no Ensino de Ciências. Nessa perspectiva, essa pesquisa buscou analisar o desenvolvimento dos estudantes em relação ao uso de representações na disciplina de Química, a partir do uso de diários de aprendizagem, que envolveram a manifestação tanto de conhecimentos quanto percepções dos estudantes em relação ao conteúdo de química, às aulas e ao próprio aprendizado. Assim, buscou-se acompanhar, a partir dos registros nos diários, tanto a evolução cognitiva quanto metacognitiva dos estudantes, em relação ao desenvolvimento do conhecimento do uso das representações em química. O trabalho foi conduzido com uma turma de primeiro ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola particular (alunos entre as idades de 14 -16 anos). As coletas das representações foram feitas a partir de diários escritos, com o uso da plataforma Google Classroom, ferramenta adotada no ensino remoto, diante do contexto pandêmico. Também foram empregados como dados dessa pesquisa os registros escritos, falas e imagens obtidos a partir dos vídeos das aulas, que foram conduzidas pelo Google Meet. Os principais resultados desse estudo explicitam a contribuição do diário como ferramenta de reflexão dos estudantes diante das abordagens específicas de diversos conceitos químicos. O papel do professor, conduzindo o uso dos diários a partir de questões geradoras, mostrou-se fundamental para um direcionamento assertivo do pensamento no Ensino de Química e para o desenvolvimento do processo metacognitivo dos estudantes. A partir do uso dos diários, os discentes puderam fazer uma releitura da aprendizagem que obtinham a partir de diversas abordagens conduzidas pelo professor. Com os resultados desse estudo, salienta-se o potencial do uso de diários no Ensino Médio para conduzir o desenvolvimento cognitivo e metacognitivo dos estudantes. Palavras-chave: diários de aprendizagem; metacognição; representações em Química.
Theoretical scientific concepts are often presented abstractly and lack practical significance in the student learning environment. Efforts to link scientific literacy with intangible ideas originate from the foundational principles of constructing models capable of representing the submicroscopic world. Over recent decades, researchers and educators in the field of science education have actively sought to impact educational frameworks, making scientific knowledge more accessible to students and facilitating a better understanding of Science Education content. In this context, this research aimed to assess students' progress in utilizing representations within the Chemistry discipline, utilizing class journals as a tool. These journals captured both the articulation of knowledge and students' perceptions concerning chemistry content, classes, and their individual learning experiences. The focus was on tracking both cognitive and metacognitive development, examining how students engaged with representations in the field of chemistry. The study involved a first- year high school class in a private school, comprising students aged between 14 and 16. Data collection involved written journal entries on the Google Drive platform due to the remote teaching context during the pandemic. Additionally, written records, spoken reflections, and images extracted from class videos conducted via Google Meet were used as supplemental data. Primary findings underscored the diary's role as a reflective tool for students, providing insights into their understanding of various chemical concepts. The teacher's role, guiding the use of diaries through thought-provoking questions, proved pivotal in steering thoughtful approaches in Chemistry Education and directing students' metacognitive processes. Through diary utilization, students gained the opportunity to reevaluate their learning experiences, considering the diverse instructional approaches employed by the teacher. Overall, the study underscores the potential of integrating diaries into high school education as a means to foster both cognitive and metacognitive development among students. Keywords: class journals; chemistry representations; metacognitive skills.
