ANÁLISE DA APLICAÇÃO DO SOFTWARE EDUCACIONAL: AVOGADRO COMO FERRAMENTA DIDÁTICA NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA.

Education has undergone several changes, one of which is the insertion of educational technologies in the classroom, computer science provides many benefits for the teaching and learning process, in addition to allowing teachers to develop more attractive teaching methodologies such as the use of these technologies. new technologies, thus having the opportunity to make use of teaching practices that have great pedagogical potential, such as the use of educational software. The project was developed through exploratory research, data collection was carried out in 3 steps and all applied questionnaires were formulated through Google Forms, which is a tool where you can create different forms and questionnaires, the subjects who participated in the research were 11 teachers and 3 students both from the public school system, in the first stage, a questionnaire was conducted with the teachers with a total of 6 open and closed questions, online, using Google Forms, the second stage, consisted of identifying what are the students 'perceptions about learning molecular geometry and in the third and last stage, we analyzed the application of Avogadro software as a didactic tool in teaching chemistry in the students' view. Finally, we consider that the proposal to use Avogadro software to build molecules with information such as polarity, electronic cloud, 3D geometric structure, is in fact a factor that may contribute to high school students through technology, having more autonomy in the construction of knowledge in molecular geometry.
