Abstract:- The COVID-19 pandemic is also an infodemic, which has brought scientists closer to the popular media, highlighting the need for training in public communication of science and technology. A virtual magazine environment based on this scenario was simulated during a science communication course attended by first-year undergraduate chemistry students, who assumed the role of science journalists. The instructor, in the role of editor, organized a special issue on chemistry and COVID-19 and structured the activities into science communication classes, agenda building, interviews with nonexperts, writing popular science texts, peer reviews, and online publishing. Fifty-eight popular science texts were produced on different topics of chemistry related to the pandemic. The activity contributed to improving communication, information literacy, and media and technology learning, which are among the 21st century skills for science education. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** first-year undergraduate/general interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary public understanding/outreach communication/writing ing internet/web-based learning applications of chemistry student-centered learn 540.7 0021-9584 RIEBPL Library https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.2c00277 https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.2c00277 231030 20231106103213.0
