O uso de aplicativos para o ensino de Química:: Uma revisão sistemática de literatura

There are numerous works published in the literature that expose a diversity of deadlocks in the teaching of Chemistry, as well as those that emphasize the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies for a more effective educational process. In this perspective, the objectives of this paper are: to analyze the scientific production regarding the use of applications for the teaching of Chemistry; to identify which chemical concepts were addressed with the use of applications; and, to suggest some applications to teachers of this area of science. As a methodological approach, a Systematic Literature Review was conducted over the last twenty years (2000 to 2019) of the researches available in six journals indexed on the Sucupira platform. Of the 4,153 articles mapped, only seven address this theme, of which two report the use of applications to teach chemical content; one article mentions the use of WhatsApp; and the others propose to analyze the development and use of applications for this area of ??knowledge. The chemical concepts that most appeared in the articles were: Organic Chemistry, Chemical Bonds, Periodic Table, and Laboratory Materials. This analysis highlights the need for further research in the Chemistry Teaching area that addresses the theme of the use of mobile applications.
