Implementação de atividades didáticas para o ensino de zoologia dos vertebrados no ensino médio

Abstract

Teaching Zoology in schools is extremely important, as it provides students with knowledge about the biodiversity of animal groups and their respective roles in maintaining environmental balance. The present study presents an analysis of the impact of implementing pedagogical strategies in the teaching of Vertebrate Zoology to a 2nd-year High School class and its potential in learning this subject. This research was qualitative and exploratory in nature, using methods such as questionnaires aimed at understanding and analyzing students' knowledge on the topic and observations reports. The results of the interventions carried out were essential for the students' learning. The active and enthusiastic involvement of the students in these activities reflected a genuine interest in the subject and contributed significantly to their understanding of the concepts addressed. Especially, the practical activities were highlighted by the students, as they allowed for direct interaction with the animals and a more concrete understanding of vertebrate characteristics.
