STADLER, João Paulo; HUSSEIN, Fabiana Roberta Gonçalves e Silva  and  MARQUES, Carlos Alberto. Chemistry questions in the new Enem with potential for socio-scientific approach. Est. Aval. Educ.

This article aims to investigate the presence of socio-scientific aspects (SSA) in elements of the approach to chemistry questions in the evaluations of the new ENEM (2009-2014), providing a way to integrate the scientific content to be studied with elements of social relevance in the classroom. Its use would make it possible to observe what has been announced in official curricular documents, the National Curriculum Parameters (NCP), regarding the competences and skills related to the objectives of teaching chemistry. An analysis of the questions content showed that 29% of the items of the corpus had the elements necessary for the SSA approach in the classroom, based on the discussion of the issue. Despite the low result, the presence of these profile questions indicates the likelihood that teachers will adopt the teaching concept that involves this approach.
