DIGITAL INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF CHEMISTRY

Abstract

This paper aims to provoke reflection on the use of communication technologies to enhance the teaching and learning of chemistry. The advances in technology in the last decade and the exploitation of these changes by the media have contributed to social change on a global scale. It has increased the connection to and dependence on these technologies in ways that did not exist a few decades ago. The teacher needs to be always open to the changes related to education and to overcoming the paradigms that exist in the school environment, aiming at a better development of the child and an efficient teaching-learning. The increasingly modern and technological scenario requires the education professional to be up to date. Thus, for an ideal education for the teacher, the construction of a professional identity is essential. In view of the above, this research aims to present the digital technologies of information and communication to enhance the teaching and learning of chemistry. The methodology used was a bibliographic review and data collection from websites, books, virtual libraries and scientific journals.
