NEW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TEACHING OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Abstract

The present study investigated the use of new digital technologies in the teaching of Organic Chemistry, focusing on active methodologies that seek to overcome the traditional teaching model. The main objective was to understand how digital technologies can act as auxiliary tools in the teaching-learning process of this discipline. The research involved a literature review on the main technologies available and the pedagogical practices that incorporate them, as well as examining the impact on student engagement. The methodological approach consisted of a field research with questionnaires and interviews, applied to 30 teachers from the city of Linhares, ES. The results indicated that, although the technologies have great potential, their implementation faces challenges related to teacher training and student resistance. The research concludes that, for the effective adoption of these technologies, careful pedagogical planning and investments in continuing education for educators are necessary.
