SUMMARY:

This thesis work is qualitative in nature and aimed to investigate the teaching purposes and the theoretical-methodological adjustments made by Basic Education Chemistry teachers in their teaching plans on Problem Solving, as a didactic approach, from a support of Scientific Dissemination – RPEQ Website. In order to do so, we carried out a bibliographic survey in Qualis A1 and A2 journals belonging to the Education and Teaching area, aiming to identify the directions of studies on the theme of Scientific Dissemination developed in the area of Chemistry Teaching. In addition, we also carried out a Continuing Education activity on Problem Solving and Scientific Dissemination, both with a focus on Chemistry Teaching for teachers participating in the Professional Master's Program in Chemistry in the National Network of the Federal University of Pernambuco. Twenty teachers participated in this research, which were organized into groups. Our analysis materials were the articles found in the bibliographic survey, the teaching plans prepared by the groups during the formation and the recording of their presentations. Such materials were analyzed according to the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin. After searching for articles in forty periodicals, we found a total of seventeen works in ten magazines that address the theme of Scientific Dissemination for Chemistry Teaching in an interval of eleven years. In this context, we identified five directions of studies. We found that Scientific Dissemination is an incipient object of study in Chemistry Teaching. We observed that most of the research proposes the use of Scientific Dissemination to promote the construction of chemical concepts, while experiences in the area of Chemistry Teacher Training are reported less frequently. Regarding the teaching purposes highlighted in the teachers' plans when using the research contained in the RPEQ website as Scientific Dissemination material, we identified seven purposes in which five of them are related to those established by Lima and Giordan and two of them refer to new purposes emerging in this thesis. Some teaching purposes were not contemplated by the professors, which are important for the development of the student's chemical knowledge. Concerning the theoretical-methodological adjustments on Problem Solving established by the teachers, we analyzed eight aspects: the teaching modality, the selected contents, the chosen theme, the problem constructed by them, the dynamics of the activities, the activities and resources proposed and carrying out a survey of students' previous conceptions. We found weaknesses in the teachers' plans in relation to some theoretical-methodological foundations of Problem Solving, such as: the construction of problems focused only on the discussion of conceptual content and the lack of contextualization of the problem, limited only to the exemplification process. The training process using the RPEQ website could help Chemistry teachers to think and establish different teaching purposes in a single plan, envisioning the construction of learning and the understanding of chemical knowledge in a more meaningful way for the student from of Problem Solving. Thus, we observe the potential of the RPEQ website regarding its functionality as a digital didactic resource for the Chemistry teacher and as a support for carrying out training processes based on scientific dissemination.
