Abstract:
In recent years, the search for new methodological approaches applied to science teaching has increased, mainly due to the use of new technologies that provide the autonomy and motivation of university students. Thus, the main objective of this research was to use the free Socrative platform for the subject of Organic Chemistry. It is an online platform in which students practice the content worked in the classroom using their smartphones or tablets. The study was divided into two stages, the first with the participation of sixty students from the second semester of the Pharmacy course, of the subject of Organic Chemistry, offered in the 2nd semester of 2019. Each of the activities consisted of a series of questions, from each topic, where students should answer through the Socrative. The results of the activities indicated that the students were receptive to the use of the Socrative platform and recognized that the platform collaborated with the learning of the subject´s contents. The second stage, which deals with “action research”, to obtain feedback from the students' overview regarding the subject is still being outlined. So far, the study has shown that the Socrative platform should continue to be adopted in the discipline with adaptations of its use to better serve students.
