TITLE:

Chemistry Education Students' Perspectives on the Aspects and Controversies of Global Climate Change

KEY WORDS:

SUMMARY:

The consensus on the anthropogenic cause of climate change is supported by decades of research and scientific evidence, backed by various institutions and numerous studies worldwide. However, distorted information about the topic, such as the claim that the current warming is a natural phenomenon experienced by the planet, has been widely spread in society. This situation highlights the importance and urgency of science education, especially for teachers in their role as opinion formers, in informing and clarifying the understanding of the general population, as well as students in the classroom context, about socially relevant issues like this one. This research aimed to characterize the understanding of chemistry education students regarding global climate change and the respective challenges in initial teacher education for planning educational activities. Data collection was carried out in the context of a teacher training course with chemistry education students from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), conducted over 4 consecutive meetings totaling 10 hours. The instruments used were questionnaires, interviews, and the development of a lesson plan for activities to be carried out in the classroom on the topic of climate change. All the meetings were recorded, and the oral and written records produced in the discursive interactions were transcribed, organized, and analyzed using Discourse Textual Analysis (DTA). The preliminary results indicate that the students recognize the importance of addressing the topic of climate change in the classroom, but they perceive a lack of pedagogical preparation to deal with the topic comprehensively within the context of the chemistry curriculum. This reinforces the importance of fostering formative experiences of this nature in the initial teacher education context.
