O tema agrotóxicos: o que se apresenta na Revista Química Nova na Escola no período de 2012 até 2022?

Abstract

The present work of conclusion of course (TCC) in the Degree in Chemistry of the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS) - Campus Realeza/PR, seeks to understand how the theme "pesticides" (in foods) has been approached in the publications of the Revista Química Nova na Escola in the last 10 years. The research is of a qualitative nature, especially bibliographic and documentary in the Revista Química Nova na Escola (QNEsc), and we made a cut between the period from 2012 to 2022. The exploratory analysis process allowed us to select 23 articles from this magazine, since in a ultimately, we selected only 3 articles, later these articles were analyzed via Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) (Moraes and Galiazzi, 2006), which constitutes a methodological proposal for the analysis of discursive information. Therefore, we arrived at the construction of 2 final categories, [1] analyzing how the authors approach the pesticides theme through methodologies; [2] to identify the years that had the highest concentration of articles published on this topic, and to analyze the relationship between teaching Chemistry and Science Education and the daily lives of students. In summary, we arrive at the following considerations of the research work itself, such as building a proposal for a didactic sequence on this theme in Science Education. We argue about the importance of working on this topic in the Science Education classroom, because it constitutes a proposal that is linked to the students' day, providing students with a dialogue with the teachers, with an exchange of knowledge.
