TEACHING CHEMISTRY BASED ON THE CONTEXT: WHAT DO TEACHERS IN TRAINING SAY?

The discussion about teacher training has became increasily inportance in education. A group of eight chemistry teachers in formation participed in a project of teachers immersion, with a didactic material based on context as support. The classes were recorded on video and then individually and collectively analyzed. We performed a semistructured interview, at the end of this experience, which is analyzed in this work, with a gol of identifying the participants' perceptions of "Teaching Chemistry" from themes of social relevance and what importance is given to this didactic themed material for support to classes. We observed important understandings relating the theoretical knowledges with the practice and the necessity of making more dynamic the production of didactic materials, that facilitate the organization of teaching based on context.
