Resumo: | Choices regarding the various aspects of Science and Technology, such as career choices, interest in studying and school performance, have roots in the attitudes and beliefs acquired throughout life. From this, comes the researchers’ interest in these categories. Starting from this premise, this paper’s objective is to understand if the vision of students at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) regarding Chemistry’s role in society and in the environment has any correlation with learning experiences in this subject. Therefore, a qualitative and quantitative treatment of the data analyzed was chosen. The instruments were applied in June 2013 to students in Biology, Chemistry and Physics undergraduate courses. 32 Biology students, 24 Chemistry students and 13 Physics students participated in this study. The results of the Likert scale showed that there is a very optimistic attitude regarding Chemistry’s role in society. However, there is neither a clear position regarding Chemistry’s importance as a course subject nor regarding the learning experiences of this curricular component. Analyzing the data from the differential scale, it is noted that the score values presented by the students majoring in Chemistry are greater in a large part of the comparisons, in such a way that they tend to distort the results if they are not discussed separately. In conclusion, notwithstanding the belief in the importance of Chemistry knowledge, students from other careers do not feel confident regarding their Chemistry learning. |

Por isso o interesse particular de muitos pesquisadores nessas categorias. Partindo desse pressuposto o objetivo desse trabalho foi compreender se a visão dos estudantes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) em relação à atuação da química na sociedade e no ambiente possui alguma correlação com as experiências de aprendizagem desta disciplina. Para tanto, optou-se por um tratamento quali-quantitativo dos dados analisados. Os instrumentos foram aplicados no mês de junho de 2013 para estudantes dos cursos de licenciatura em Biologia, Química e Física da UFRN. Participaram do estudo 32 estudantes de biologia, 24 de química e 13 do curso de física. Os resultados da escala de Likert mostram que há uma atitude muito otimista quanto ao papel da química na sociedade. Ao passo que não há uma posição clara sobre a importância da disciplina química nos cursos e sobre experiências de aprendizagem deste componente curricular. Ao se analisar os dados da escala de diferencial nota-se que os valores de escores apresentados pelos estudantes de licenciatura em química são maiores para grande parte das comparações, de forma que tendem a distorcer os resultados se não são discutidos separadamente. Disso, concluise que apesar de acreditar na importância dos conhecimentos químicos, os estudantes de outras carreiras não se sentem confiantes em relação a sua aprendizagem em química.Centro de Investigação Didática e Tecnologia na Formação de Formadores (CIDTFF) / Universidade de Aveiro2016-07-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/id.v8i1.3208https://doi.org/10.34624/id.v8i1.3208Indagatio Didactica; Vol 8 No 1 (2016); 322-338Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 8 Núm. 1 (2016); 322-338Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 8 No 1 (2016); 322-338Indagatio Didactica; vol. 8 n.º 1 (2016); 322-3381647-3582reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/3208https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/3208/2542Nunes, Albino OliveiraDantas, Josivânia MarisaOliveira, Ótom Anselmo deHussein, Fabiana Roberta Gonçalves e Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-22T10:15:13Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/3208Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:30:00.969208Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
