Produção de vídeos sobre fisiologia humana em rede social como ferramenta pedagógica no Ensino Médio

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the learning process of high school students as they develop videos for the TikTok social network, focusing on the concepts of Human Physiology. The fragmented teaching of Human Physiology systems, the use of technical terms that are difficult to comprehend, and the lack of motivation on the part of students are some of the obstacles that hinder the proper development of students' learning processes in this content. Therefore, an exploratory research was conducted with the participation of 11 3rd-year high school students from a state school in Fortaleza, from March to May 2023. The research was divided into the following stages: planning, data collection, and analysis. Data collection occurred in three moments: administration of the Initial Questionnaire, development of the Didactic Sequence, and administration of the Final Questionnaire. The Didactic Sequence was divided into three stages: script preparation, video production, and sharing of the produced material. Data analysis was carried out in an interpretive manner, based on the comparison of the results obtained in the data collection phases to identify convergences or divergences in the information. The results demonstrated that, from a conceptual perspective, the production of videos contributed to learning about the Digestive, Muscular, and Nervous Systems. Meanwhile, from a contextual perspective, the systems in which the participants showed improved performance after the implementation of the Didactic Sequence were the Nervous and Endocrine Systems. For the other systems, it was observed that students' knowledge either remained stable throughout the project or presented a negligible reduction. The Didactic Sequence used can be replicated in other contexts to corroborate the results regarding the performance achieved by the participants. However, the small unit of analysis may be a limitation of this study. The intention is to present the Didactic Sequence used to undergraduate students in the Biological Sciences program at the Federal University of Ceará, as well as to publish it in journals or participate in events that contribute to the discussion on the use of digital resources in the classroom to stimulate the learning process.
