SUMMARY:

This dissertation aimed to evaluate potentials and limitations of the proposed activity systems, based on the articulation between zones of the conceptual profile of chemistry and facets of chemistry. We consider that the structuring and application of activity systems, based on the articulation between zones and facets of chemistry can fully encompass the plurality of ideas about chemistry and thus promote plural discussions in the classroom that are able to help the teaching-learning process. For discussion and analysis of the research data, we considered the theory of the conceptual profile of chemistry (FREIRE, 2017) and the facets of chemistry (TALANQUER, 2013) to analyze the different ways of thinking and ways of talking about chemistry and to analyze the systems of proposed and applied activities we consider the theory of activity (ENGESTRON, 2001). We had as subjects, twenty students of the full degree in chemistry of a public university of Pernambuco. The methodological design of this dissertation was divided into four stages, each stage is consistent with a system of activity that was structured following assumptions of activity theory. The entire application and development of the systems occurred remotely, using digital tools such as google meet, google forms and jamboard. All stages of the research were recorded in audio, video and had the products of the activities performed that were transcribed a posteriori. Data analysis shows that the six zones of the conceptual profile of chemistry in the activity systems, for the first system, in the responses of the students arise the epistemic, aversive, procedural and pragmatic zone. For the third system of activity, the epistemic zone, the procedural zone and the pragmatic zone appear, which shows that they managed to go beyond what was expected. We can affirm that the structuring of the activity system based on the theory of activity and the articulation between the zones and facets of chemistry helped in the direction of ways of thinking and ways of talking about chemistry that are consistent with what is expected for each planned activity. Thus, the results obtained show that the proposed activity systems have potential because they are able to promote plural discussions, considering the responses aligned with different zones of the conceptual profile of chemistry. The activity systems also have limitations since the monista and the attractive zone do not appear in the answers, we consider that the tools and the environment that the students were inserted influenced for a more formalist look to the object. Thus, it is clear the importance of this theme being inserted in the initial and continued training of chemistry teachers, so that they become aware of the different ways of thinking and talking about chemistry and can improve their teaching practices by making use of this articulation for the structuring of systems of activities that will be able to promote plural discussions that will train conscious students.
