Análise da circulação de conteúdos científicos em vídeos do Tik Tok

Abstract

This work has as its research problem and objective to analyze how topics about science, especially chemistry, circulate on the Tik Tok platform and how this content may or may not contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in the school context. The research was carried out in the chemistry undergraduate course at the Federal University of the Southern Frontier - Realeza Campus - PR. Initially, an exploratory research was carried out to identify the most popular content related to science and chemistry, in experimentation videos. After carrying out a pre-selection, the analysis of these videos was carried out based on an adaptation of the criteria proposed by Gomes (2008), in which the author proposes five categories of analysis for audiovisual materials, which are: content, technical-aesthetic aspects, pedagogical proposals, target audience and accompanying material. The results show that most videos on Tik Tok have significant limitations in relation to the analysis criteria, making them inadequate as a primary source of study for young people and adolescents or as an autonomous pedagogical resource. However, some videos can be adapted to complement teaching practices. Therefore, with the teacher's mediation and a critical eye, these materials can serve as starting points or as complements for discussions of concepts in the classroom.
