AÇÕES TRANSDISCIPLINARES PARA PROMOÇÃO DE EDUCAÇÃO EM QUÍMICA

Abstract

Strategies that contribute to Chemistry understanding can support school teaching and promote

Chemistry dissemination, as a multi and interdisciplinary area, based on transversality of contex-
tualized knowledge. The objective of this article was to highlight the importance of adequate

methodologies for teaching materials production and for their dissemination on social networks,
making use of the Instagram profile, @projetotransfere. The actions were planned and executed
by projects of the Chemistry in Action Program, registered at University Federal of Pelotas. In
total, sixty four publications were considered in the period from 11/16/2021 to 02/06/2023, of
three types: Chemistry in Daily Life, Chemistry Curiosity and Chemistry Tips. The interesting posts

to this analysis showed a face image of a member group on the cover. Affinities and discrepan-
cies were identified, based on three guiding points: type, content and purpose of publication.

Three publications about Chemistry reactions were compared. Actions based on appropriate
methodologies provided opportunities to undergraduates training, who worked together as a
team, and to community in general, especially young people, through the provision of social
networks contents about Chemistry themes and scientific knowledge related to everyday life.
It was a strategic way to support Chemistry culture and education. Finally, it was highlighted
that the use of digital tools, such as social networks, can be directed to actions that promote
teaching and learning processes. Social actions, such as those promoted by university project
teams can provide positive changes in the community.
