University professors' perceptions of the scientific dissemination literature

This paper focuses on the use of scientific dissemination literature as a pedagogical tool. This study departs from the perspective that the scientific dissemination literature (SDL) can be employed in scientific and chemical education as a means of knowledge construction at school and as an alternative to the didactic textbooks. In this sense, this paper presents the perceptions of chemistry professors on the possibility of employing SDL in teaching. The aim is to provide teachers in training with knowledge of how to use this didactical resource in the classroom, suggesting the inclusion of such knowledge in the teachers' training syllabi.
