GONZALEZ, A. I.  e  PALOMEQUE, L. A.. Integration of didactic and neuroscientific strategies to improve motivation and learning in basic chemistry courses. Entre Ciencia e Ingenieria [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.21, pp.89-94. ISSN 1909-8367.

This paper exposes a methodological approach that was designed and developed to facilitate the understanding of the topic chemical equilibrium; a familiar context for students was used. The proposal was applied to an average population of about 16- year-old. The context was the process used to produce yogurt in a lab under the methodological strategy: Teaching for Understanding (TfU). The proposal also relies on neuroscientific foundations of learning that take into account the need to generate attention statements prior academic work, to improve understanding of concepts and pitch them to the long-term memory by stimulating multisensorial; this stimulation may improve better synaptic connections. Before starting the academic work, stimulation activities were conducted, which resulted in a state of attention and motivation that allowed students to make observations and analysis at the macroscopic level, to finally understand precisely the chemical process lactic fermentation, as a reversible process produced by the action of microorganisms.

Palavras-chave : chemical equilibrium; lactic fermentation; multisensory stimulation; motivation; TfU.
