O uso do Instagram como um recurso facilitador no ensino de Química para o Ensino Médio

Abstract

The broad development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and, later, Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC), in Education has made significant advances, making the teaching and learning process more effective and efficient. Such technologies have also allowed students (users in general) to access information and resources more quickly and easily, learn in a more collaborative and personalized way, and develop skills for the 21st century. Social networks have become popular among young people, most of them are registered on at least one of them. Instagram has presented itself as an educational resource for teaching Chemistry shared by profiles of teachers and science enthusiasts. Given this range of shared digital material, the following research presented aims to analyze the Instagram profile @quimica.massa through an explanatory qualitative approach as a resource to facilitate the teaching of Chemistry in High School through the use of memes, images and videos that accompany the subjects covered in the classroom.
