Abstract: Engineering curricula frequently overlook the epistemological foundations of chemistry, leading students to perceive the discipline as inherently complex. This gap challenges educators to develop more stimulating methodological frameworks. This study demonstrates how to dismantle the misconception of difficulty in engineering-focused chemistry education. Adopting a qualitative framework, we propose an investigative model for knowledge construction centered on practical chemistry projects. The findings indicate that the barrier of complexity can be overcome through a practical, constructive, and investigative Problem-Based Learning (PBL) strategy, which stimulates independent knowledge production and yields substantial educational outcomes.


Keywords: Active Methodologies. Chemistry Pedagogy. Constructivism. Experimental Practice. Science for Engineering.


Introduction: Active methodologies enhance student autonomy by bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications within the teaching-learning process. Grounded in David Ausubel’s cognitive theory, pedagogical effectiveness increases when learners seamlessly integrate new information into their existing cognitive frameworks. This cognitive shift requires active engagement with materials that resonate with the student's reality. Ausubel underlines that meaningful comprehension occurs when new concepts align hierarchically with prior knowledge structures—termed subsumers—which ultimately anchor long-term learning and cognitive growth.
