Abstract

In order to contribute to the dissemination of Chemistry and the University, the FAPESP Regular Research Project n. 2014 / 02522-7 is been developed in the Laboratory of Investigations in Teaching of Natural Sciences (LINECIN).Interactive lectures were produced in partnership with six researchers from the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos with the objectives of to increase students' interest in Science and Chemistry and to contribute to the approximation of society with the University and more specifically with Chemistry. For the elaboration of these lectures, six scientific dissemination texts containing the details of the teachers' research were initially developed. Considering the importance of scientific dissemination texts for a better understanding of scientific concepts and for the diffusion of science, the objective of this project is to analyze the language used in didactic transposition in the production of texts according to Chevallard (1991). The scholarship student and other evaluators will evaluate the six texts produced according to a script. From this analysis, texts can be reformulated and submitted for publication in scientific dissemination magazines and a script for the production of new texts can be created. (AU)
