Integration between internet and chemistry teaching practice

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the main characteristics of the internet use by secondary chemistry teachers of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Most teachers recognize and use the internet for learning. This usage is focused mainly for searching information on chemical content for individual use. Although public policies will encourage the use of such tools in educational contexts, the didactic use of internet tools remains distant from the classrooms of Chemistry. We discussed the importance of articulating policies and teacher training programs through the development of outreach activities about the pedagogical potential of the internet tools among teachers.
