FRANCISCO JUNIOR, Wilmo Ernesto and BENIGNO, Ana Paula Aquino. PRODUCTION OF AMATEUR VIDEOS OF EXPERIMENTS: some contributions to think the educative process. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.244-272. Epub May 28, 2019. ISSN 2237-9460. https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2018v8n2id536.
Currently, digital technologies arise as an additional tool for the inclusion of practical activities, intertwining lab work, audiovisual language and the chemical science. In this manner, this paper investigated an activity of video production by students with special focus on technical-esthetics aspects of the audiovisual materials and its influence on the educative process. Video analysis demonstrated the spontaneous inclusion of techniques and esthetic elements (such as music, dramatization, and humor) seldom considered in science classes. Fun, freedom, creativity and responsibility were characteristics that emerged and which are associated to a playful environment and to the engagement with the activity. Thus, the interaction and the students’ involvement in the video production may allow promoting the discussion of scientific knowledge in a wider way.
