SILVA, Cristine Santos de Souza da e SOUZA, Denise Santos de. The STSE approach and use of Active Methodologies in Higher Education: An analysis based on the discussion of news about environmental accidents involving chemical products. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.3, pp.919-941. Epub 15-Ago-2023. ISSN 1983-1730. https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v26n3a2019-14.
The STSE approach and the use of Active Methodologies are increasingly present in Higher Education, because they are proven efficient for the teaching of science and for the contextualization of current problems. Considering these two teaching approaches this article presents an analysis of an activity performed with students from four undergraduate courses, focusing on the environmental impacts resulting from accidents involving chemical products. The methodology adopted was the discussion and analysis of current journalistic news associated with the theme. As a result it was observed that even in the scope of higher education, contextualization is necessary to understand the theoretical assumptions that one wishes to teach. Through the CTSA approach it was possible to verify the advances of students in the development of skills such as dialogue, critical thinking and understanding of complex processes, such as those referring to environmental issues.
