ANALYSING THE ROLE PLAYED BY REMEMBRANCE FOR MEANING MAKING PROCESS ON HEAT: A STUDY WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Meaning making, Remembrance, Heat and Chemistry Teaching.
This research aims to analyze how remembrance can contribute to the construction of meanings of the concept of heat in students in the 2nd year of high school at a public school in Triunfo, Pernambuco. Based on the theories of Vygotsky (1978) and Bartlett (1932), the work seeks to investigate the interaction between memory and learning, aiming to understand how students can reinterpret previous conceptions and build new scientific understandings. The methodology adopted is qualitative, with a focus on classroom research. The process involves the application of initial questionnaires to identify previous conceptions, followed by a didactic sequence on the concept of heat in order to work on the processes of internalization and externalization. In the data analysis, the characteristics of remembrance, sociocultural mediators and the zones of the conceptual profile of heat will be considered, seeking to identify how students articulate different ways of thinking about this concept. It is expected that the research will contribute to the understanding of remembrance as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of Chemistry, connecting scientific concepts to everyday contexts and favoring the construction of more solid meanings.
