ResumoA História da Química (HQ) tem sido considerada um recurso para as aulas de Química no Brasil, porém muitos professores e licenciandos dizem não terem capacitação ou interesse para incorpora-la à prática docente, criando um paradoxo. Com isso surgem alguns questionamentos: A HQ é importante para formar o professor? E para os estudantes da Educação Básica? Assim, surgiu o presente trabalho, com o objetivo de identificar a importância que licenciandos em Química de uma universidade federal, que cursavam a disciplina História da Química no ano de 2016 dão à disciplina, observando o que entendem pelo tema, quão importante é para sua formação e para o ensino de Química e como eles acham conveniente incorpora-la à prática. Baseados em estudos e nos documentos oficiais, buscou-se entender a importância que dão para a HQ na formação do profissional e do aluno de Ensino Médio. Para isso, foi feito um acompanhamento das aulas da turma durante todo o curso, observando as aulas e as atividades realizadas por eles. Palavras-chave: História da Química; ensino de Química; pesquisa com alunos. Abstract The History of Chemistry (HC) has been considered a resource for chemistry classes in Brazil, but many teachers and graduates say they lack the capacity or interest to incorporate it into teaching practice, creating a paradox. With this come some questions: Is the HC important to train the teacher? And for the students of Basic Education? Thus, the present paper, with the objective of identifying the importance that graduates in Chemistry of a federal university, who studied the discipline History of Chemistry in the year of 2016 give to the discipline, observing what they understand by the subject, how important it is for their training and for the teaching of Chemistry and how they find it convenient to incorporate it into practice. Based on studies and official documents, it was sought to understand the importance they give to the HC in the formation of the professional and the student of High School. For this, it was made a follow-up of the classes of the class throughout the course, observing the classes and the activities carried out by them.

In this study we present an analysis of how the structure and content of the Greek school textbook approach the concepts of chemical kinetics, and an investigation of the difficulties that 11th grade Greek students face regarding these concepts. Based on the structure and content of the Greek textbook, a tool was developed and applied to students in the form of test questions in order to investigate the difficulties that they encounter with concepts and facts of chemical kinetics. Our results indicate that the textbook presentation at several points does not take into consideration basic findings of chemistry education research, which could improve the understanding of the content, and that a large proportion of Greek students show low comprehension levels of the concepts and facts of chemical kinetics. Given the important role of the school textbook in the learning process, it seems that the structure and content of the textbook do not facilitate the conceptual understanding of the subject matter, and together with other factors contribute to the difficulties that students face regarding concepts in chemical kinetics.

The present article discusses the problems related with the motivation of students to learn chemistry. The problems mentioned are common for Georgia and other countries. As a case study, the article will discuss the methodology of teaching chemistry as an introductory course at Ilia State University. The methodology is orientated on realization of some important didactic principles in teaching process which is very effective tool for increasing students’ motivation to learn. Introducing foremost historical facts about the well-known chemists is very interesting for students as well. Such information helps students to get more insights about this complex discipline and chemistry becomes more interesting for them. The article also proposes the tools how to link chemistry education process with history, scientific tourism and other sciences. At the end, there will be demonstrated the results of the experiment carried out by the authors. The outcome of the pedagogical experiment has made it clear, that such a method of teaching chemistry affects positively on students motivation and changes their attitude towards the subject.

Descriptive Approach

The cultivation of spiritual values to learners is a very vital step in shaping the characteristics and character of the human person, because the internalization of spiritual values is closely related to the cultivation of religious values, and is part of the formation of adolescent character as the next generation of religion and nation. This research is to find out the process of planting and internalizing spiritual value education conducted at The Senior high school of Mafaza Institute located in the Maguntapan Bantul area of Yogyakarta, while the type in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach, while the subject in this study is teachers or teachers at this institution as well as some M.A. Mafaza students. While the data collected passes through the process of interviews, observations and documentation which then the author of the data analysis to draw conclusions. The results of this study show the following: 1). The process of planting and internalizing values and spiritual in this institution is carried out with an understanding of the material in the classes. 2). Then as a follow-up in the form of application in programs and activities such as requiring mandatory congregational prayers, sunnah worship and others, there are also activities such as the loving mosque and the the Adiwiata program. So from there it is seen that all aspects in value and spiritual, namely the aspect of Aqidah and Worship become the center of attention in planting to their students. So that it covers everything, either in the pattern of vertical relationship (Servant-Godnya) or horizontal (Servants and Environment).

Curricular Structure

Background: The curricular structure of Brazilian basic education has changed in recent years. With the promulgation of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) for elementary and high school education, there is a need to change the curricula of state and municipal networks, which takes place precisely with the actual implementation in schools. Objective: To understand the view of mathematics teachers on capacity and knowledge they must have for the effective application of the BNCC in the classroom considering all the requirements, especially the skills and competencies that contemplate the curricular base. Design: Applied work, with quantitative bias, as the work presents statistical analyses. Setting and participants: Twenty-four high school mathematics teachers of the state network of the municipality of Itumbiara-GO. Data collection and analysis: Questionnaire applied to mathematics teachers, with percentage and inferential analyses such as Cronbach’s Alpha and correlation test. Results: The teachers believe that they know well the specific competencies and skills required in mathematics and its technologies, but they do not know well other areas of the BNCC and feel very insecure about applying these concepts in class. Conclusions: We noticed that the teachers play a fundamental role in implementing the BNCC in schools successfully, requiring pedagogical support such as formative courses and teaching materials to help correct the knowledge gaps they have for that task.

Prior research has demonstrated the important role of chemistry students’ affect in academic performance. Likert-scale surveys are the most prevalent tools to measure students’ affect within chemistry education research, however, data collected through a Likert-scale survey may exhibit response style bias which can hinder accurately measuring students’ affect. This study investigates the utility of a novel survey methodology, termed rank-sort survey, in understanding students’ academic motivation in a general chemistry course. Informed by Q methodology, in a rank-sort survey participants rank a set of statements in terms of level of agreement with limits in place on how many items can be assigned a particular rank. In this investigation, a rank-sort survey was developed by using statements from an existing Likert-scale instrument, the Academic Motivation Survey in Chemistry. Data collected from the rank-sort surveys, compared to Likert-scale surveys, showed a better alignment with self-determination theory, the underlying theoretical framework, and a better ability to predict students’ academic performance in chemistry. The study also discusses which surveys in chemistry education research are likely to benefit from adopting a rank-sort approach.
