Chemistry learning: Application of science cases in higher education

Abstract

With the purpose of breaking the barrier of traditional teaching, the application of innovative models is applied to generate learning, fostering the academic - technical and scientific debate. Activities based on cases of science are incorporated as daily phenomena, concatenating the theoretical-practical action in the classroom context with real situations that are presented in authentic scenarios using the PBL. The research is quasi-experimental, with two groups: experimental and control (25 and 27 students). During these experiences, students achieve high levels of higher order thinking, developing analytical, critical and creative skills.
