SUMMARY:

The teaching and learning process has been challenging considering the high level of abstraction in Chemistry and, consequently, the difficulties students have in understanding the content. Given this, using a contextualized approach has shown positive results throughout this process. In this study, we discuss some of the main concepts of the content of polymers in the context of the theme of soccer, which is not only the most popular sport in the world, but also a symbol of revolution, social emancipation, and inclusion, being a promising path to discuss polymers and their presence in the different materials of the sport in question. The choice of the content of polymers was due to its little approach and exploration in the area of education and teaching, according to investigations carried out in the literature that constituted the first stage of this research. The second stage was the elaboration and implementation of a mini-course aimed at undergraduate students of the Chemistry Licentiate and Bachelor's degrees at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, in which we had the participation of 22 students. The research is of a qualitative exploratory nature, the instruments used were the application of questionnaires and audio recording, the research was previously submitted to the Ethics and Research Committee of UFRN, approved by opinion No. 6.701.007. For the analysis of the collected data, elements of Content Analysis were used aided by the use of the IRAMUTEQ software in the categorization stage. Based on the results, we can infer that the use of the context of football to work on the content of polymers was well accepted by the participants and the results were positive regarding the understanding of the content. Based on the participants' statements, it was possible to notice the understanding of concepts such as: monomeric units, polymerization processes, types of polymers, in addition to an improvement in the worldview, perceiving the infinity and variability of the polymeric materials present in society.
