O uso de conteúdos virais sobre álcool que circularam durante a pandemia da COVID-19 como potencialidade para a alfabetização científica e tecnológica em uma sequência de aulas em química

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many topics involving science circulated through the media and social networks as a result of the search for the best way to prevent the disease. In this sense, a lot of content about alcohol circulated during this period, some of which contained information that was not supported by the scientific community. Therefore, the objective of this work was to investigate such content involving news and homemade hand sanitizer recipes on YouTube, in addition to proposing a didactic sequence using them in the classroom to promote students' scientific and technological literacy. The research is qualitative in nature and data analysis was carried out through the selection of excerpts contained in the videos and classifying them into possible categories: humanist objectives, social objectives, economic and political objectives, autonomy, dominance, communication, relationship with school chemical knowledge, possibility of an interdisciplinary approach and relationship with students reality/daily life. As a result, it was found that the videos analyzed covered the analyzed categories, indicating the potential for their use in the classroom and, finally, a didactic sequence was created using the Three Pedagogical Moments as a methodology with the incorporation of the analyzed videos, seeking to achieve the scientific and technological literacy process of students.
