Interesses de busca sobre a química como embasamento para estratégia de divulgação de um curso de licenciatura em química

Abstract

Nowadays, scientific popularization is growing with digital media, which present excellent insertion capacity in all environments and diverse social segments. Thus, we aimed to map search interests about Chemistry on the internet, in Brazil and Piauí state, classifying and describing contents, to obtain information to sustain dissemination actions about a Teaching Degree course offered by a federal institution public teaching. For this mapping realized in Google Trends, we considered search in all web and YouTube, in Portuguese, in Brazil and Piauí state, between 04/01/2020 and 03/31/2021. Results showed that Piauí presents a general lack of interest in Chemistry. However, there are peaks in search volume in Brazil concerning Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemistry Teaching, Analytical Chemistry, General Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. Given these results, we proposed a portfolio as a tool for knowledge propagation about Chemistry and actions realized in the Teaching Degree course offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Piauí (IFPI) campus Cocal. Thus, we admit a contribution to the field of dissemination and popularization of science
