Combustíveis - matéria e energia: um livro virtual com conteúdos digitais para professores e estudantes

Abstract

In recent times, integrating technology into the school environment has allowed for greater innovation in teaching methodologies. Even with the implementation of Law 15.100/2025, which restricts the use of cell phones in schools, it is possible, with proper planning, to continue using these tools to help students learn. Has revolutionized teaching. Within this context of Digital Resources (DR), Digital Learning Objects (DLO) have been contributing to more interactive, intuitive learning connected to the demands of the new generations. For chemistry teaching, these tools can help overcome challenges related to theoretical and decontextualized teaching, facilitating the understanding of complex concepts through simulations and multimedia representations. In addition, with the implementation of the new High School curriculum, with a focus on Formative Itineraries (IF), it was necessary to create new support materials for teachers that would allow them to deepen their knowledge in a contextualized way, in line with the thematic axes of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC). From this perspective, this paper reports on the development of an Interactive Digital Book (IDB) called “Fuels - matter and Energy: A Virtual Book with Digital Content for Teachers and Students”. This IDL offers texts, videos, mind maps, and activities for teachers and students. The book has been organized so that access to the resources is simple. It contains three modules: “What is Energy?”, “What are fuels?” and “What are the main types of fuel?”, ending with an exercise section called “Let's practice a bit?”, where you'll find exercises and the most recent questions from the National High School Exam (ENEM), covering the chemical concepts that the book covers throughout its topics. The book can be accessed via the website www.magnoaraujo.com, from where you can use all the media quickly and easily. The virtual textbook has been developed to be constantly updated with more resources so that the chemistry content can be further explored and deepened in future versions. The work behind the development of this material includes a literature review, the creation of the LDI and its virtual page, as well as a qualitative analysis of teachers' interaction with the resource, to expand its possibilities for use in the classroom. The research concluded that the incorporation of ODAs, according to teachers, can stimulate student learning. However, the production of these materials requires time and technological and pedagogical knowledge. The use of ODAs by teachers also needs to be encouraged, contributing to the production and ongoing evaluation of these resources. In the future, the LDI will need technical adjustments, the inclusion of more digital tools, and the expansion of chemistry content to make it even richer and more useful.
