COELHO, Juliana Cardoso  and  MARQUES, Carlos Alberto. Freireanas contributions for the contextualization in teaching of Chemistry. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2007, vol.9, n.1, pp.49-61. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172007090105.

A wider pedagogical work involving cases through the teaching of Chemistry in schools located in the areas of coal extraction has been proposed in order to find a closer relation between chemical issues to the "freiriano" referential and Green Chemistry. A new teaching plan for this subject is proposed. This research was developed in two stages through a questionnaire applied to a group of teachers that aimed to analyze the understanding of the difficulties found in their daily routine, followed by an interview. The following interview was preceded by the reading of a text that characterizes the coal mining as being a critical area, in terms of pollution. The interpretation of the teachers" understanding was conducted by the Textual Analysis and the results stated, showed that there was not a wide understanding of their surrounding reality and of its usage in the teaching of Chemistry. There is a domination of disconnected approaches and a distance between the students routine and knowledge about this subject.
