The objective of this study was to identify and discuss contributions of QuiLegAl, a multi-platform application (app), to the teaching and learning processes, based on an evaluative approach carried out by a group of undergraduate licenciatura students in Chemistry. The app QuiLegAl is part of a master’s thesis, which was dedicated to the development of digital learning objects as an alternative for teaching Science and Chemistry topics, such as chemical bonds and chemical equations and their representations. The research adopted a qualitative approach, with characteristics of a case study. For data production, evaluation questionnaires proposed by Oliveira (2017) and audio recordings and observation were used. The organization and analysis of the results were carried out based on the content analysis techniques (BARDIN, 2011), as well as on the triangulation of data from different sources. The results presented by the study indicate that QuiLegAl, object of evaluation by the undergraduate students, meets the requirements of the different aspects evaluated, namely the integration of visual, sound and interactive resources and the possibilities of building molecular structures, which can contribute to imparting user autonomy. These aspects demonstrate the potential of the app as a pedagogical resource for the teaching of Natural Sciences. The study suggests that QuiLegAl can motivate users to know, explore and plan new approaches to the topic of chemical bonds, using the app as an alternative to the teaching and learning processes. |
