Laboratórios virtuais de aprendizagem em Química: possibilidades de aplicações.

Abstract

The use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) has become increasingly indispensable resources in the educational context, as they can significantly contribute to the interaction between teacher and student, in the evaluation system, that is, it can assist in the entire teaching process. of learning. For the teaching of Chemistry, several TDIS’s can be found, with emphasis on the Virtual Learning Laboratories (LVA) which can assist in the practical and of the said curricular component. In this context, the objective was to identify LVA’s available on digital platforms, evaluating their possibilities of applications in experimental chemistry classes. For this, a literature review was carried out through articles available in databases such as Google Scholar, Scielo, Capes Periodical, in addition to searches on sites related to LVA software available for free to download and / or use online. . After identification, the LVA’s were assessed for usability; accessibility; proposed didactic activities; usage requirements and environment interface. Then, a lesson proposal was elaborated with the use of the resource directed to the 1st year of the high school. Six LVA’s were found, where only three are available for free. Based on the established criteria, they indicate the Chemistry Lab as satisfactory LVA for the elaboration of the lesson proposal, which consisted of preparing a solution of 100 mL of HCl in the concentration of 0.1 mol.L-1. Finally, it was found that the Virtual Learning Laboratories can positively corroborate for the development of an experimental Chemistry class, considering that the experimental approach enhances learning and in some institutions it is not possible to apply it due to lack of LF.
