CURRÍCULO MÍNIMO VERSUS DIRETRIZES NACIONAIS DE CURSO: CAMINHOS DIVERGENTES NA FORMAÇÃO DOS PROFISSIONAIS DA QUÍMICA

Abstract

MINIMUM CURRICULUM VERSUS NATIONAL COURSE GUIDELINES: DIVERGENT PATHS IN THE TRAINING OF PROFESSIONALS IN CHEMISTRY. The professional practice of chemist is defined by Ordinary Resolution no 1,511 of 1975, edited by the Federal Council of Chemistry. This legislation is outdated and not in line with the National Curricular Guidelines for chemistry courses, approved by the National Council of Education in 2001. This situation has greatly hampered the training of future chemistry professional and the modernization of undergraduate courses and must be urgently corrected by those responsible for formulating the legislation that defines the chemistry courses. Thus, we understand that the time has come for the Federal Council of Chemistry, Scientific Societies and Universities to work together to solve this problem, modernizing the legislation that defines the attributions of the chemistry professionals and defining the necessary profile for their professional practice in the XXI century.
