An overview of the relationship between educational research and teaching chemistry is presented, covering the opportunity areas between production and science popularization (dissemination of scientific knowledge). Knowledge apprehension and appropriation are also discussed in the educational context of UNAM, in Facultad de Estudios SuperioresCuautitlán. Links between scientific and pedagogical training are defined by considering educational research as a means to broaden the theoretical and methodological options for chemistry teaching.
