Explorando parasitoses com ludicidade: narrativas de um ensino evolvente no âmbito do Programa Residência Pedagógica

Abstract

The use of playful methodologies in the educational context, especially in childhood, plays a crucial role in the comprehensive development of children and adolescents. This work focuses on the development of didactic strategies in the teaching of parasitic diseases, with the purpose of making the teaching process more engaging and efficient. The objective was to reflect on the experiences lived during the pedagogical residency, with a focus on the use of playful strategies for the teaching of parasitic diseases. To achieve this goal, searches for theoretical references that would underpin the research were conducted. In addition, seventeen narratives reflecting the reality observed in the classroom of the residency field school were produced. Autobiographical analysis was employed to process all narratives related to the period between January 31 and June 27, 2023. The results included discussions on reflections arising from the narratives and the use of playful methods, such as completing image games, a parody of the memory game, guessing diseases based on images of transmitters, all using the previously referenced theoretical framework. From this evaluation, it can be concluded that in a comprehensive synthesis of the reported content, a positive response to the stated objective was evident. However, additional themes were identified that deserve to be addressed in the same context, such as parasitic diseases caused by flatworms and nematodes, indicating possible directions for future research.
