Environmental Education and Interdisciplinarity: Pedagogical Proposal for Laboratory Practices in the Chemistry Curricular Component

Abstract

It is with great joy that we launch the book Environmental Education and Interdisciplinary: pedagogical proposal for laboratory practices in the chemistry curricular component . This edition was designed to encourage students in the universe of scientific initiation, developing the inventive spirit, intellectual autonomy, student protagonism, motivating reflection-action that impacts local and global communities. Thus, the book begins with reflections on the importance of interdisciplinarity, as well as the methodological assumption of teaching through investigation that guided this work. The structural part of each pedagogical proposal begins with the didactic approach, followed by the competencies and skills of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC, 2018), an approach to environmental education content aligned with laboratory practice, objectives, materials and methods, as well as complementary activity. Each chapter seeks to motivate the understanding of chemical principles based on technological development, using modern research and its applications in order to motivate constructions that can positively impact society. In this way, the proposed activities seek to develop the student's ability to solve problems, encouraging creativity and Maker Culture in order to lead them to think about probable answers. We thus wish to contribute to strengthening scientific literacy, providing new ways of doing Science, enhancing the learning experience, following the chemical descriptions and constructions promoted in all its interfaces. We appreciate the support we received, as well as the suggestions from readers that will help refine this work and make it more interesting and useful. We hope that you will find in this book the necessary support for the development of good pedagogical practices in the chemistry curricular component.
