A REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON THE USE OF EXPERIMENTATION IN CHEMISTRY TEACHING

This work aims to carry out a literature review on the subject Research Experimentation in Chemistry Teaching. For that, a search was made in articles of the National Meeting of Research in Education in Sciences (ENPEC) of 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017, which are presented in this document. For this review were carried out the readings in the articles related to the thematic and emerged four categories of analysis: i) Investigative Experimentation; ii) Review of Literature on Experimentation; iii) Experimentation in the Initial and Continued Formation of Teachers and iv) Experimentation in the Teaching of Chemistry from Specific Subjects. In this investigation 77 articles on Experimentation in Chemistry were found. From the reading of the articles, it can be seen that the Experimentation is being implemented in Teaching. This document will deal with two of the signaled categories: Experimentation in the Initial and Continued Formation of Teachers and Experimentation in the Teaching of Chemistry from Specific Subjects. The results allow a reflection on the use of Experimentation in Teaching Chemistry and demonstrate its potential in the teaching and learning process.
