Stop motion no Ensino de Química

Abstract

Stop motion is a frame-by-frame animation technique that can significantly support the teaching of chemistry, stimulating students to build their knowledge through visualized information. This paper presents the appropriation of the stop motion by 134 students in an upper-year undergraduate chemistry course. Student perceptions, collected by means of a questionnaire and the presentation of group seminar, reveal that students have experienced the activity positively, indicating a favorable posture to the use of stop motion as a strategy for chemistry teaching. Furthermore, results show that the creation of stop motion allowed students to experience different learning contexts, mainly because the proposed activity is related to the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies.
