Unidade de ensino potencialmente significativa usando a estratégia cooperativa jigsaw em aulas de química

Abstract

This study proposes the implementation of the Jigsaw cooperative technique as a strategy to stimulate meaningful learning in a group of middle school students in the discipline of Chemistry. For this, a Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit (PMTU), which gathers a number of activities was structured and applied with students from a technical course on occupational safety. The data collected and recorded in a field diary. The results show the feasibility of this resource, because it provided an interactive environment where students have been able to externalize their interpretations, share knowledge, express their doubts and clarify them. Each member assumed an individual responsibility so that everyone contributed to the progress of the activities. Therefore, the use of this strategy can contribute as a stimulating resource for meaningful learning. Keywords: Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit, Jigsaw cooperative technique, meaningful learning
