Desenvolvimento de modelos didáticos auxiliares no processo de ensino-aprendizagem em embriologia humana

Abstract

One of the main problems for the teaching of Biology is the great amount of abstract content, with complex terms, making the students’ comprehension difficult. In addition, the lack of resources generates disinterest on the part of the students, with the use of models that represent the structures in their three-dimensional form. Therefore, it is proposed in this work the creation of didactic models about human embryonic development, using low-cost recyclable materials in order to facilitate the understanding of the students. In addition, the objective is to point out the importance of alternative methodologies as efficient strategies in the contribution to the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes. This is a research based on reporting the teaching of Biology by dialoguing with practice in an institutional program called Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), which was carried out with students of the first year of high school in the city of Sobral (CE), aiming to presente the content that would be approached in the classroom through expository dialogic classes. Subsequently, seven didactic models were constructed using low-cost recyclable materials related to the specific themes of the content taught. From the data analysis, it was ratified the importance of the theoretical basis for teaching, as well as realizing the importance of the students’ participation in the construction of a didactic strategy in which knowledge is a collective construct and whose results are didactic models capable of making the learning process more concrete and closer to the reality of the students. After discussions and evaluations, it was verified that students understood the content about the human embryonic development.
