CONCEPT MAP ANALYSIS AS A POSSIBLE METACOGNITIVE TOOL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION CONCEPT
To verify whether the conceptual map tool allows the evocation of metacognitive thinking in the construction of chemical concepts by students, this project aims to investigate the manifestation of metacognition, considering 12 undergraduates from the Federal University of ABC. For this purpose, conceptual maps were used to approach the chemical theme. In these maps, an attempt is made to analyze the relationship between metacognition and these students' learning, based on the “ThinkAloud” technique. In addition, data were collected through audiovisual conversations, transcribed and investigated together with the maps. The analysis will be carried out using Bardin's content analysis methodology (1977), metacognitive incidents proposed by Locatelli and Arroio (2014) and quality of concept maps according to Novak and Gowin (1996).
