El presente proyecto se plantea el siguiente problema de investigación:¿Cuál es la eficacia de los entornos virtuales de enseñanza para optimizar los aprendizajes de Química? Se sostiene la hipótesis de que los entornos virtuales de enseñanza, empleados como mediación instrumental, son eficaces para optimizar los aprendizajes de química, particularmente facilitando la vinculación y reversibilidad entre "mundo micro y macroscópico"; capacidad que usualmente sólo se atribuye al trabajo experimental de laboratorio. Los objetivos propuestos son: Determinar la eficacia de entornos virtuales de enseñanza, como mediaciones instrumentales, para optimizar los aprendizajes de química en estudiantes de ingeniería. Implementar un entrono virtual de enseñanza de química, diseñado como mediación instrumental y destinado a estudiantes de dos carreras de ingeniería del IUA. Evaluar el desarrollo y los resultados de la innovación introducida. Comparar los resultados de la innovación con los resultados de la enseñanza usual. Derivar conclusiones acerca de la eficacia de la innovación propuesta. Socializar el conocimiento producido en ámbitos científico-tecnológicos reconocidos. Se generará un aula virtual en plataforma Educativa y utilidzando el laboratorio de computación de la institución se buscará desarrollar laboratorios virtuales donde se propondrán actividades de simulación de trabajo experimental. Los resultados esperados son: - Un Aula Virtual que cumpla funciones análogas a las de un laboratorio experimental. - Información válida y confiable acerca de la eficacia de la misma como medio para optimizar los aprendizajes de química. - Publicaciones en ámbitos científico-tecnológicos reconocidos que sometan a juicio público la innovación y la investigación efectuadas. La importancia del proyecto radica principalmente en poner a prueba la eficacia de los entornos virtuales para optimizar los aprendizajes de química, analogando tareas usualmente limitadas al trabajo experimental de laboratorio. Su pertinencia apunta a un replanteo del curriculo de los cursos de Química para estudiantes de Ingeniería.

This work is part of a study that focused on analyzing the contributions of didactic activities related to scientific language rhetoric characteristics aimed at developing students' abilities to identify such characteristics in chemistry scientific texts and critical reading of those texts. In this study, we present the theoretical basis adopted to determine the scientific discourse characteristics and for the production of the didactic material used in those activities. Latour, Coracini and Campanario studies on persuasive rhetorical strategies present in scientific articles aided the production of such material.

INVESTIGATING THE PRESENCE OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE IN UNIVERSITY GENERAL CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOKS. This paper aims at analyzing the history of science content of three general chemistry textbooks used in Brazilian universities: the translations of Kotz and Treichel's Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity, Atkins and Jones's Chemical Principles, and Garritz and Chamizo's Quimica. Results revealed different trends for the inclusion of history of science in chemistry teaching. Katz & Treichel and Atkins & Jones used history mainly as curiosity and ornament. Garritz & Chamizo adopted the historical approach as one of the organizing axis of their textbook. Nevertheless, the historical content of the three textbooks may be criticized from current historiographical standpoint.

Chemistry teachers increasingly use research articles in their undergraduate courses. This trend arises from current pedagogical emphasis on active learning and scientific process. In this paper, we describe some educational experiences on the use of research articles in chemistry higher education. Additionally, we present our own conclusions on the use of such methodology applied to a scientific communication course offered to undergraduate chemistry students at the University of São Paulo, Brazil.

The literature on the challenges of teacher education in undergraduate chemistry teaching is limited. In the present study, the application of didactic proposals elaborated by two authors of this paper, graduate students and teaching assistants of the teaching improvement program at University of São Paulo, was investigated in terms of their contribution to the teaching assistants' education and undergraduate students' receptivity toward them. Such proposals were based on the jigsaw cooperative learning strategy and applied in two undergraduate courses. The results indicate students' good receptivity and suggest their importance to teaching assistants' education.

A utilização de textos de divulgação científica no ensino formal tem sido discutida por pesquisadores da área de educação em ciências. Tais discussões sugerem que esses textos podem funcionar como instrumento de motivação em sala de aula, organizando explicações e estimulando debates. Nesta perspectiva, foi aplicada uma proposta de ensino pautada no uso de capítulos do livro Tio Tungstênio: Memórias de uma Infância Química, de Oliver Sacks. A proposta, que envolveu a produção de textos, pelos estudantes, sobre conteúdos do livro, foi aplicada em uma disciplina do Ensino Superior de química. Os textos foram analisados segundo a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, especificamente com relação à noção de autoria.

This paper presents the results from the selection and analysis of Ciência Hoje articles published from 2004 to 2009 with the aim to discuss some of their features which can assist teachers in chemistry teaching. Therefore, the articles were analyzed according to their content and format based on an analytical tool proposed by Kawamura and colleagues. The results indicate that this magazine offers a reasonable collection of articles related to chemistry with a variety of contents and approaches.

Com o intuito de contribuir para a qualificação do ensino escolar da Química na República de Angola, a presente investigação analisou as caraterísticas do Conhecimento Didático do Conteúdo e a Qualidade de Ensino dos professores considerados peritos naquela área disciplinar. A questão de partida que orientou o estudo foi a seguinte: “O que é que carateriza o Conhecimento Didático do Conteúdo dos professores peritos de Química e qual a sua relação com a Qualidade de Ensino?”. A investigação implementada é de tipo quasi-experimental, com um caráter descritivo e exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por grupos de professores e alunos (peritos e não peritos). Os dados recolheram-se por entrevistas aos professores peritos e a observação das suas aulas, por captação de imagens; por questionários e testes de avaliação aos alunos dos dois grupos. A análise dos resultados obedeceu a metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa. Os resultados revelam que, os professores peritos reúnem requisitos caraterizados pelas suas intervenções de pedagogias mais ativas que os tornam mais eficazes. As caraterísticas das suas intervenções propiciam melhorias na qualidade de ensino. Contudo, as conclusões gerais implicam a necessidade de formação dos professores, de modo a melhorar a qualidade de ensino da Química em Angola.

xThe aim of this article is to present a contribution of the school knowledge research to Chemistry Teaching. The object of research is school knowledge on physical sciences, considering the existence of a rupture between scientific knowledge and everyday knowledge. The differences between analogies and metaphors and the process of didactic mediation were thoroughly examined. The conclusion is that the process of didactic mediation is built on their own cognitive configurations, which not always make public the private scientific knowledge to certain social groups.

The approaches are part of the everyday of the Physical Chemistry. In many didactic books in the area of Chemistry, the approaches are validated starting from qualitative and not quantitative approaches. We elaborated some examples that allow evaluating the quantitative impact of the approaches, being considered the mistake tolerated for the approximate calculation. The estimate of the error in the approaches should serve as guide to establish the validity of the calculation, which use them. Thus, the shortcut that represents a calculation approached to substitute accurate calculations; it can be used without it loses of quality in the results, besides indicating, as they are valid the adopted criterions.

Wilhelm Michler lived in Brazil for seven years from 1882 to 1889, when he died. Here, he published several articles on natural products, and became a professor of Industrial Chemistry at the Escola Politécnica, in Rio de Janeiro. He was respected by colleagues and students. This article addresses this poorly known period of the life of a scientist, world-famous by the aromatic ketone that carries his name.
