This work aims to investigate the understanding of undergraduate students of a Supervised Internship in Chemistry about the approach with a STS/CT approach, implemented by an initial training program aimed at teaching STS/PC to students for their planning and didactic interventions. To this end, portfolios produced by 12 undergraduates enrolled in a Supervised Internship II course in the 2019 school year were analyzed. The data were analyzed using the WebQDA Software, using content analysis, with three categories appearing as emerging: Understanding of STS; Understanding of STS/CT; and Learning and development of the STS approach. The results show that undergraduates understand the importance of such approaches and the course for their training, but they often end up presenting simplistic ideas about them, which intensifies the importance of training courses that promote the understanding of STS/CT approaches.
