GALVIS-JACOME, Magaly. Using Colloquial Language as a Didactic Strategy to Teach and Learn Chemistry in the Rural Socio-Educational Context. Trilogía. Cienc. Tecnol. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.27, e201.  Epub 28-Set-2022. ISSN 2145-7778.  https://doi.org/10.22430/21457778.2180.

Putting chemistry in context is a pedagogical strategy that facilitates the teaching and learning of this subject because it establishes connections between chemistry concepts and aspects of daily life. This article reviews the ways in which other authors have investigated the contextualized teaching of science in their environments. It also describes a pedagogical experience that was implemented within the framework of a didactic sequence applied in a rural socio-educational context, i.e., the Colegio Ecológico de Floridablanca (in Santander, Colombia). Said learning experience aimed to teach students principles of chemistry in a real environment using colloquial language to make connections. The data obtained through observation show that the analysis of the expression “we are like water and oil” directed the students in a practical way to study and understand the concepts of types of chemical bonds, principles of solubility, and density. In this way, colloquial language served as a tool that boosted the situated teaching and learning of sciences and made it possible to connect new knowledge with aspects of the environment where the educational process took place.
