This paper introduces a qualitative research over a case study, with stu dents from the last series of integrated Chemistry technician program in CEFET-MG, adopting socioscientific subjetcs (TS) with CTS approach in Applied Organic Chemis try practical classes. We consider the results to the TS " cachaça" and observe inte ractions and dialogues between teacher and students and the teacher's teaching. W7e documented perceptions and developing attitudes, values (PIEARCTS) and skills. Me thodology-wise, we used notes, records, recordings, filming and questionnaires. The importance of the teacher in the conduct of discussions, in the strategies involving students in discussions and experiencing real situations was evident. We emphasized the insertion of TS in the Chemistry curricula as a fundamental condition to develop CTS education and humanist in professional education courses, with the creation of new possibilities.

Keywords : Professional education; sociocientíficos subjects; chemistry; CTS; PIEARCTS..
