Resumo
Os conceitos referentes à mecânica quântica são de suma importância para o estudo da estrutura do átomo, possuindo grande relevância para a Química, que tem por base o estudo da matéria e de seus constituintes. A investigação desses conceitos e de como eles são estruturados pelo estudante de Química têm adquirido relevância nas pesquisas de ensino de Química, sobretudo pelas dificuldades de aprendizagem dos entes submicroscópicos em relação aos macroscópicos concernentes à mecânica clássica. Esta pesquisa buscou analisar como ocorreu a produção de significados dos estudantes de Química no estudo dos conceitos derivados do modelo atômico atual, em especial os números quânticos, formas dos orbitais e transições eletrônicas, observando os níveis de domínio e apropriação destes. A investigação foi realizada durante uma sequência didática organizada por uma entrevista efetuada com o professor responsável pela disciplina de Química Geral II da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, onde a pesquisa ocorreu. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se a captura de tela, imagem e áudio dos alunos, por meio do software Camtasia®, além de gravações de áudios, entrevistas semiestruturadas, exercícios e os registros de conversas de um grupo criado na rede social WhatsApp®.A estruturação dos dados teve por base o modelo topológico de ensino, que permitiu orientar as análises. A análise ocorreu a partir da interação dos alunos e o modo como produziram os significados dos conceitos, sendo dividida em três momentos: mapa de aulas, mapa de categorias e microanálise. Identificamos que os conceitos são produzidos por livres associações de aulas anteriores e a partir das ideias inseridas nos Objetos de Aprendizagem, além disso, o discurso de autoridade influenciou a produção de significados durante as interações comunicativas. Na maioria das atividades, os alunos apresentaram domínio sobre os conceitos focos da pesquisa, organizando-os em alguns momentos de forma confusa, principalmente por meio da escrita. Apenas um aluno orientou suas ideias em direção à apropriação dos conceitos, porém não foi possível analisar os níveis de apropriação nessa etapa.
The concepts related to Quantum Mechanics are important for the study of atomic structure, having great relevance to Chemistry, which is based on the study of matter and its constituents. The investigation of how students learned these concepts has gained importance in the scientific literature, and many studies are directed about the difficulties related to the obstacle concerning the submicroscopic world and Classical Mechanics. This research aimed to analyze how production of meanings of Chemistry students in the study of concepts derived from current atomic model, especially the quantum numbers, shapes of orbitals and electronic transitions, observing levels of mastery and appropriation of it. The study was carried out during a teaching sequence organized on an interview conducted with the teacher of General Chemistry II of the Federal University of Maranhão, where the research took place. For data collection, screen capture, image and voice of the students through the Camtasia® software, and audio recordings, semi-structured interviews, exercises and conversations recorded in a group created on WhatsApp®, a social network . Data organization was based on the topological model of teaching that guided the process. The analysis occurred by the interaction of students and how they produced the meanings of concepts, being divided into three stages: classes map, categories map and microanalysis. We identified concepts produced by free associations of the previous classes and from the ideas embedded on the Learning Objects, moreover, the authority discourse influenced the production of meanings during communicative interactions. Most of activities, students showed mastery of the focus concepts of this research organizing then confusingly, mainly through writing. Only one student guided his ideas toward the appropriation of concepts, however, it was not possible to analyze the appropriation levels at this stage.
