SUMMARY:

The teaching and learning process has been challenging considering that teaching concepts that are configured as abstract in Chemistry and, consequently, the difficulties in understanding the content by students. Given this, using a contextualized approach has shown positive results in the face of many of these difficulties. In this study, we discuss some of the main concepts of the content of polymers in the context of soccer, which in addition to being a very popular sport in several countries around the world, is also a symbol of revolution, social emancipation and inclusion, and for this study, 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 qualitative in nature, and a pedagogical intervention was carried out. The instruments used were questionnaires and audio recordings. The research was previously submitted to the Ethics and Research Committee of UFRN, approved by opinion No. 6,701,007. To analyze 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 see that the use of the football context to work on the content of polymers was well accepted by the participants and the results were positive regarding the understanding of the content, according to the answers given by each one. Based on these data, it was also possible to identify better conceptual appropriation of the concepts of monomeric units, polymerization processes, types of polymers, among others. In addition to these, an improvement in the worldview, perceiving the infinity and variability of the polymeric materials present in society.
