Exploring the motivation to the chemistry study

This work intends to identify the reasons why people either like or dislike chemistry classes, based on a written questionnaire answered by 157 students of private and public schools. It has a main question - "Do you like to study chemistry? Why?" - and along with others that complement it, we attempt to explore both pupils' school and personal experiences which help them to increase their learning capacities. The answers have given us a very rich piece of discussing material about the like-and-dislike on the study of chemistry mainly about the social interactions in teaching not only this but all other subjects.

study of chemistry; quotidian; social interactions
