Abstract: Motivation for acquiring knowledge is fundamental for students to actively engage in the learning process. In this sense, investigative experimentation in chemistry classes can spark students' interest in learning chemistry, considering that the main difference between verification and investigative activities is the construction of theory from a problem situation, while verification focuses only on checking the result. However, this motivation proves to be complex and multifaceted, depending on several factors. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) provides a solid theoretical foundation in the educational field for understanding motivation in the learning process. In chemistry, where the content is often seen as "difficult" or "abstract," SDT offers a way to transform controlled motivation (studying only to get a grade) into autonomous motivation (studying to understand the phenomenon). This motivation is influenced by three psychological dimensions: autonomy, competence, and belonging, and can be classified based on intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In the school context, this motivation is differentiated by the student's level of involvement in the proposed activity. When a student asks questions about what is being discussed, it indicates that they are involved out of personal interest in the activity (intrinsic factors). Autonomy is linked to the desire to have control over one's own decisions and actions, and is directly connected to intrinsic motivation. Competence refers to the ability of a human being to face challenges with skill and effectiveness, involving their perception to intrinsically achieve their goals with a feeling of accomplishment; and, finally, belonging is related to the desire to feel part of a social group, with positive experiences and life events in the environment in which they find themselves. In this sense, this qualitative research aims to analyze whether the involvement of students in investigative experimental activities influences their motivational profile. The theoretical and practical activities were developed in the discipline of chemistry and experimental practices, covering the themes proposed by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), with the aim of promoting motivation for learning chemistry. The educational product is an e-book consisting of three investigative experimental activities with a script for the teacher and the student. The data collection instruments were two opinion questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique. As a result, a significant decrease in demotivation was obtained (impersonality); An improvement in regulation was identified, indicating that students began to recognize the importance of the subject; and an increase in intrinsic motivation. This signals that investigative experimental activities positively influenced students' motivation for learning Chemistry. Finally, it is hoped that the results of this research will contribute to new debates on the importance of experimental activities in motivating students to learn Chemistry.

Abstract: This research focuses on the teaching of polymers to high school students, recognizing the importance of Chemistry at this stage of education. The subject, present in both the previous and current BNCC curriculum, plays a crucial role in developing scientific thinking, enabling adolescents to critically and inquisitively understand the phenomena and mysteries that surround them. Chemistry teaching goes beyond memorizing formulas, nomenclature, and structures; it involves a process of systematic study, research, and the integration of real-life experiences.
Based on this perspective, the material developed adopts clear and accessible language, using practical examples that bring scientific content closer to students’ everyday lives. Schools, as spaces for learning and the dissemination of good practices, play a fundamental role in this knowledge-building process.
This qualitative research included an analysis of the current reality of Chemistry teaching in basic education, aiming to identify challenges, gaps, and opportunities in the way polymer content is approached in classrooms. The main objective is to share knowledge about the chemistry of polymers through a didactic e-book that serves as a pedagogical support tool and enhances the learning process. In addition to presenting key concepts on polymers, the material explores organic functions frequently addressed in mock exams, ENEM, and university entrance exams, using illustrations and visual resources to make the content more attractive and meaningful for students.

Abstract: This dissertation presents the development of a supplementary textbook entitled “Redox in Focus: An Approach through the Lens of Science, Technology, and Life,” created to facilitate the teaching and learning of the redox topic in basic education by integrating scientific, technological, and biological concepts. The material seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional teaching, which often focuses only on calculating oxidation numbers, by promoting a meaningful and contextualized understanding of the subject for elementary and high school students and teachers. The purpose is to develop a supplementary textbook (LPD) that contextualizes the theoretical concepts of redox, stimulates critical thinking, and facilitates the comprehension of redox reactions and their applications. The steps taken include a theoretical review of the topic, highlighting the social relevance of redox reactions, and applying didactic transposition tools to adapt the content for basic education. Redox reactions are fundamental for understanding natural, technological, and biological processes, such as cellular respiration, corrosion, combustion, and the operation of electrochemical devices. The LPD presents the concept of redox in relation to the transfer of electrons and energy, emphasizing its daily relevance and importance to science and technology. The text maintains a focus on science, technology, and their applications in everyday life. The approach broadens the traditional view, aiming to connect scientific knowledge to students’ daily lives, stimulating critical thinking and intellectual autonomy. The methodology is based on bibliographic research, meaningful learning, and external didactic transposition (EDT), adapting complex scientific knowledge into accessible and contextualized content for basic education. The supplementary textbook (LPD) is designed as a complementary resource to traditional teaching materials, promoting a more dynamic and critical approach to teaching redox. The developed LPD offers an integrated and expanded view of the redox topic, highlighting the importance of different explanatory models and their applications in science, technology, and life. By connecting theory and practice, the material contributes to more meaningful learning, overcoming the limitation of teaching focused solely on oxidation numbers. The next step suggested is internal didactic transposition (IDT), which aims at the practical application of the content in the classroom, consolidating learning. This work represents progress in chemistry education, providing an updated resource that can be used by teachers and students to deepen their knowledge of redox and its multiple facets, promoting the formation of more critical citizens who are aware of the importance of chemistry in their daily lives.
