Lo´pez-Ferna´ndez, Mari´a del Mar; Gonza´lez-Garci´a, Francisco; Franco-Mariscal, Antonio Joaqui´n – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The social dimension of chemistry is relevant and present in numerous socio-scientific issues, for example, the use of plastics. These issues can be covered at school by implementing strategies such as role-playing, which allow different perspectives to be understood, thereby helping to promote changes in attitude. This paper presents a…
