O status do ensino e da pesquisa em Química Inorgânica no estado de Goiás.

Abstract

Considering the expansion of the Brazilian higher education system and the importance of inorganic chemistry for the development of modern society, this work presents a qualitative mapping of the teaching and research scenario in inorganic chemistry in higher education institutions (HEI) in the state of Goiás. The research mapping was developed through a digital survey of public data on the e-MEC and Lattes platforms, as well as official websites of higher education institutions and direct contact with the coordinators of chemistry courses in the state of Goiás. 22 higher education institutions in the state of Goiás were analyzed, in which vacancies are offered in higher education courses in chemistry, in addition to the analysis of the contributions of professors linked to the disciplines of inorganic chemistry who are hired in these institutions. The aspects evaluated in the teaching of the state of Goiás, resulted in the data that 86.8% of the chemistry courses are mostly from public HEIs, and 84% are in the Center-South region of the state. Furthermore, the teaching of inorganic chemistry presents a discrepancy in the nature of the disciplines. Among the professors of inorganic chemistry, 93% have a postgraduate degree in the same area. In turn, scientific production is inversely proportional to the number of professors hired at these HEIs.
