LINTHORST, J. A.. The Image of Chemistry and Curriculum Changes. Educ. quím [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.2, pp.240-242. ISSN 0187-893X.

Since the 1980's, the influence of context-based curricula has been growing in curricula and has been taking place in advance of improving the image of chemistry. This article argues that chemical societies should focus on a better understanding of the negative image of chemistry, by supporting historical and philosophical research. Based on that, chemistry curricula should change.

Keywords : Context; public image; history of chemistry; curricula.
