Segurança química na formação dos professores de química do IFPI campus Paulistana

Abstract

This study shares the findings of research conducted with teachers in the Chemistry Teaching program at IFPI Campus Paulistana, focusing on their education and perspectives regarding Chemical Safety. Five teachers participated in the study, responding to a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms®, which included 24 questions. Given the crucial role of knowledge about Chemical Safety in preserving the health and safety of individuals, the main objective of this work was to outline the teachers' training profile, their perceptions of how the institution manages safety, and how the topic is incorporated into the Chemistry Teaching curriculum. The study suggests that safety measures in the campus laboratory are inadequate, highlighting the need for ongoing professional development and underscoring the importance of discussing the school curriculum in Chemistry Teaching programs.
