THE USE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL BOOKLET AND AN ANAEROBIC BIODIGESTER AS TOOLS IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS IN SCIENCES
Keywords: Problem-Based Learning (ABRP), Maker, Experimentation, Biodigester, Biogas.
The present work brings the theoretical foundation, methodology used and results obtained from the application of two educational products, one of them, an experimental booklet, where it is presented in two versions, one for the medium level and another for the elementary level and one anaerobic biodigester made with the instructions in these booklets. These booklets, which are available in the appendices of this work, bring in their scope a suggestion of a didactic sequence, which will culminate in an experimental activity, which is the construction of the anaerobic
digester. The methodologies suggested and applied in this work are based on Problem-Based Learning (ABRP) and Maker. The educational products were applied in classes of the 3rd year of high school in the elective subject of Environmental Chemistry in a state public school and full-time in the city of Maceió - AL. The results obtained in this work demonstrate that the educational products applied are effective in the teaching and learning process, which
can be observed in the results obtained from diagnostic evaluations.
