  • A CONVERSATION WITH PROFESSORS ON THE SELECTION OF CHEMISTRY KNOWLEDGE AS A GUIDELINE TO THE DIDACTIC PROPOSAL IN THE CLASSROOM J. C. Del Pino M. Eichler S. M. da Silva Química This research aims at identifying the principles of selectivity that guide both the organization of university degree courses and the elaboration of Chemistry didactic materials. General Chemistry professors took part in this study and discussed their beliefs about the conceptual organization of the syllabus and the selection criteria they employ on it. The experience on teaching the discipline was found to play a major role on determining their pedagogical stances, directly influencing the construction and communication of the concepts worked in the classroom. Such factors affect the selection, sequencing and approach of concepts by the educator and may be adequate to Chemistry students in their first contact with Chemistry Science. Additionally, those factors can also motivate or demotivate Chemistry students, determining the continuity or interruption of their studies. No significant differences were found when comparing General Chemistry syllabus and didactic textbooks structures to those proposed by the professors. 2007 artículo científico 0258-5995 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=443543708003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4435 Revista Cubana de Química application/pdf Universidad de Oriente Revista Cubana de Química (Cuba) Num.3 Vol.XIX
