A PERCEPÇÃO DE ESTUDANTES DO EJA DO ENSINO MÉDIO SOBRE A IMPORTÂNCIA DA QUÍMICA NO SUL DO AMAZONAS

Chemistry is a science that is present in our daily lives and we often do not realize how important it is in our lives. Thus the present work had as objective to make an analysis about the perception of high school students of a school of Humaitá AM about the importance of Chemistry. The research was conducted through openended questionnaires involving 22 EJA students in two 2nd phase classes at night. The purpose of the questionnaire was to verify how these students see chemistry in everyday life. Through data analysis it was possible to know what students think about the chemistry discipline and how important it is in their lives. With this it was possible to observe that the students have difficulty related to chemistry because it involves calculations, however, many knew how to give the definitions and cite examples of chemicals present in their daily lives as proposed in the research and thus stated that classes with experiments would be of great importance for their school performance.
