High school students' conceptions about the teacher activities developed through the pedagogical residence in chemistry program

The pedagogical activities in the teaching of Chemistry developed by the Pedagogical Residency Program have been of paramount importance in teaching the learning of basic education students in Brazil. In carrying out these activities, the contextualization of the content is satisfactory, by associating themes directed to the student's daily life with the contents in the teaching of Chemistry, since, this method provides the development of the fundamental skills of the citizen, such as participation and critical thinking . The daily contextualization of the theory can be shown in practice and, thus, it has the capacity to enable more than information, it enables a more dynamic and comprehensive questioning of the contents. This article presents some series of didactic activity strategies developed by residents with the aim of helping students to better understand Chemistry classes, after verifying that students faced great difficulties due to the traditional way of teaching, such as memorize formulas and solve mathematical problems. Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand the students' conceptions about the practical activities developed through the Pedagogical Residency Program, Chemistry subproject, and linked to this, diagnose their main considerations about the Chemistry discipline. With the help of these activities, it was observed the importance of the same for the student's learning. The results showed that students see pedagogical activities and residency as something very positive and that it actually helps in their teaching and learning process.
