ABSTRACT

This article aims to describe the importance of experimental practices for chemistry classes and the verbal, gestural and media expression of students through feedback through the TikTok media platform. Developed by a professor of Chemistry, inserted in the teaching staff of a State College, in the north of Paraná, in the Elective Curricular Component of Chemistry. This component was named “Chemistry TikTok”, in which the participants were full-time 1st Year A and B students of New High School. To develop the present work, it was defined: objectives, abilities and competences to be advanced, syllabus contents, methodology, didactic resources, proposal for the culmination and finally the evaluation. The results of the present study show that to develop this work with the students of the 1st Year of the New High School of Full Time there were many difficulties, mainly with the behavior of some students, as they were not actively involved in the proposed activities . Promising aspects for learning are highlighted, even though not having posted as many videos as they produced, it is noted that with each class that passed, the students' interest increased, as they wanted to do more and more experiments, record videos, actively participate in them, demonstrating greater mastery of the chemical concepts worked.
