Proposta de sequência didática sobre a função orgânica álcool com foco na prevenção do uso abusivo de bebidas alcoólicas: análise a partir de aspectos da Teoria da Atividade de Leontiev

Abstract

The present work presents a Teaching Learning Sequence (TLS) for teaching the organic alcohol function with a focus on the prevention of abusive use of alcoholic beverages. The choice of the topic of alcoholism was raised by the proximity of the author to people who suffer directly or indirectly with the problem of excessive or continued use of alcohol. This teaching sequence is composed of activities that seek to contemplate the pedagogical and epistemological dimensions described by Méheut and was structured in six moments using the method 5E, proposed by Patro. The first moment was thought for the students to answer a questionnaire to survey their previous conceptions on the subject; the second moment is the presentation of a video about alcoholism and notes/ appointments on relevant points; in the third moment it was thought to occur reading the article "Alcoholism and Chemical Education"; The fourth moment corresponds to the lecture on the scientific aspects of the alcohol function; in the fifth moment it was planned to carry out in-room research on conceptual and social aspects of the use of ethanol; and, finally, at the sixth moment, the evaluation must be carried out. The activities proposed in the sequence were analyzed from some categories of Leontiev's Theory of Activity, among them: objectives, actions, subjects, system of operations and results. The analysis of the results allowed realizing that the didactic sequence has potential to reach its objectives if the operations chosen for the activity are compatible with the desired cognitive actions and necessary to assimilate the concepts associated to the intended object.
