USE OF TIKTOK© AS A TECHNOLOGICAL TEACHING PROPOSAL IN CHEMISTRY TEACHING THROUGH WELL WATER ANALYSIS IN VILA SANTANA-TO

Abstract

Since the pandemic, TikTok© has become the most downloaded app on the App Store, being among the ten most accessed social media platforms on the planet, with more than 800 million people using the app in 150 countries and 75 languages ​​( Monteiro, 2022; TikTok, 2022). It can enable the link between knowledge and fun, creating conditions for the theoretical content taught by teachers to be exposed in practice by students and the appreciation of the construction of knowledge through the videos produced. Teaching chemistry through the use of creative short videos on TikTok© has great potential for disseminating chemistry content. In view of the above, the present study intends to evaluate the use of TikTok© as a technological didactic proposal in teaching chemistry through analyzes of well water in Vila Santana. The study was developed quantitatively, aiming to evaluate the potential of the TikTok application for teaching chemistry. The educational profile was created in February 2024, with the title “Water Chemistry”. Through questionnaire analysis, it was observed that the approach using videos to teach chemistry through analyzes of well water presented values ​​equal to or greater than 70% in all questions questioned, demonstrating good acceptance and contributing to learning. significant impact on the content covered. The use of TikTok© as a digital teaching proposal can promote the enhancement of contextualized chemistry learning. Short videos about water analysis promoted greater public participation in a virtual learning environment. Therefore, we consider that investigating the potential of TikTok© in chemistry teaching is a promising field not only for entertainment purposes, but also as a potential repository for the production and dissemination of qualified scientific information in the educational environment.
