Abstract
This study was conducted at the Instituto Superior de Formación Docente Salomé Ureña (ISFODOSU), Dominican Republic. It aimed to investigate the perception and attitude towards chemistry of students of the bachelor's degree in Biology Oriented to Secondary Education. The research was performed under the positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach. The attitude/perception of the students was measured through two instruments based on the Method of Summated Rating or Likert Scale and the Semantic Differential Method. The results indicate that, in ISFODOSU students, there is a positive intellectual and emotional disposition towards chemistry, which is favored by the inclusion of modern didactic strategies that involve demonstrations, simulation modules and experimentation.
